Jackie,

Both are correct. What you write depends on the context: is this chord symbol just a label above a fully written-out piano part, or is it above slash marks?

If the specific triadic G-over-F voicing is crucial, and it's above slash marks, G-over-F is your best bet. If the precise arrangement of notes in the voicing can be left to the discretion of the player, or if it's just a label above a piano part that's already fully-written out, "F6/9(#11)" is better.

Cheers,

- Darcy

Right -- "F6/9#11)" is the most concise non-compound chord notation.

Thanks, Everyone, for the responses! I'm learning a lot here! Okay, so which would be better to use - the compound G"over"F or the F6/9#11 - I mean which would a musician understand better, and which would be the music theory "correct" way of symbolizing this chord?

Thanks again!

Jacki
