Right now, :maj adds a major 7th step, even if no number is present. c:maj is equivalent to c:maj7. That is the confusion.
Agree
IMHO, by making c:maj equal to c, we would make c:maj7 (and friends) less clear. By just disallowing c:maj (without a 7, 9, 11, ...) we get rid of the "problem".I'm OK with that, too.In looking through the chord name scheme on Wikipedia (I know, it's not definitive for music, but it's widely available) (see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(music) >), Cmaj is listed as an alternate name for the major triad. In any guitar music I've ever played, major chords are always indicated without any suffix.
Same here; As a jazz guitarist I've never seen a plain major chord notated with any kind of suffix.
