There's no "7 (b9b13)", just "(b9b13)". There are 2 "7(b13 nat9)"s, though.


Wacky. Why not 9(b13)?

Chord symbol 15 is a 13th chord;


What's wrong with that?


There's a Maj6


I agree, just dumb. C6 is plenty; major is assumed.


, but no Maj9 -- just M9; no consistency among possible usages.
There's no order to the symbols -- finding anything is a major pain.
Some of the symbols -- does anybody really use a Maj13 without sharping the 11th?

Yes, I sometimes use that symbol; the natural 11th is normally omitted when a major 3rd is present. One of those things about the chord convention. I like to call that chord maj7 6/9, though.



Or how about Major 7 sus4?


Hmm, I've used it before, though I usually would call it something else, like G7/C instead of Cmaj7(sus4), but I wouldn't write out Major like that.


Also, why can you alter the font for the symbol & alteration after you've entered them, but not the suffix? This is true regardless of the font used -- it's not specific to Arial chord library.


You can swap fonts, but if you happen to be usings Arial in that point size anywhere else in the file, it will look pretty funny changed to JazzCord. What I usually do is to load my own chord suffix library, then delete the ones I don't want one at a time, and when it asks me if I want to replace the suffixes in use with another suffix, I choose the one of mine that I prefer.
