Ha-ha, That's another one. I don't understand why -7(b5) is sometime called half-diminish since there is not diminish function with that chord structure. As you said, it is definitely Locrian, except Super-Locrian that Harbie Hancock made it famous of. But to me, Super-Loc is just a inversion of Lid b7, i.e., B-7(b5) with natural 9th is G7(#11)/B, because that's what the scale the Chord dictates. And there is another (b5). A dominant with b5th suggests the chord already includes altered 9th and b13th. Again, I can't hear any tonal scale that fits dominant that contains b5th but not altered 9th and b13. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
