Hi,
You can find an example of a chord notated as 'phrygian' (well it's
more a
modal indication, but that's what the composer Gary Peacock
intended) in the
lead sheet for Vignette.
More arguments for using names: Alt is much more easy to write and
read, less
error prone than: 7.3-.5-.9-.11-.13-
So if Alt is always (or primarily) 7.3-.5-.9-.11-.13- we should add
an alt
modifier to LilyPond. Then, we could say c:alt, and get just what the
composer intends. And then we should have the ChordNames context
generate
CAlt.
At least in the Real Books, the chord usually just says "C alt" on
the chart. The structure of the alt chord is pretty variable and up
for interpretation on the fly. Many times it's just played as a
dominant 7b5b9.
Why don't we just make "alt" available only for scoring? bad idea?
To me, score is important. midi is not.
For others midi is important, so please not half solutions...
