Sounds good to me... One other thing that is common in Jazz charts is the
ability to specify what inversion of the chord you are using. This is usually
notated like C/E, where the note after the slash is the root of the chord. So
this would be a C triad with an E in the basement. (E G C)

In the jazz word Jamey Abersold's series of jazz books seems to be the closest
thing to a standard. In the back of each of them is a one page "scale
syllabus", which lists all of the chord notations, their chord tones, and the
associated scale. The 5 categories are:
Major (C)
Dominant 7th (C7)
Minor or Dorian (C-)
Half Dimished or Locrian (C\o-with-a-slash-through-it)
Dimished or 8 tone scale (Co)
You seem to have already covered the variations on these fairly well in your
previous discussion...
