Very interesting- but should not the old adage apply- "use what works for you and your musos".
Nobody is right, or wrong. Somebody said the chord C2 is modern. Who introduced it? What made it 'right'? Simple- usage. I personally don't use it- but I've made it my business to understand what those who DO use it require of me. I suspect all serious musos who use chord symbols will do the same. You tomAYto, I say tomARto! Does it matter? Cheers, Keith in OZ Keith Helgesen. Director of Music, Canberra City Band. Ph: (02) 62910787.

Because that's the interval that is consonant with a dominant function C13 chord. The natural 11 against a C13 is dissonant -- an "avoid note" as we say. It creates a very dissonant minor ninth above the chord third (E). C-13 takes a natural eleventh, because the natural 11th is not dissonant against the chord third (Eb). - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- No virus found in this incoming message.
