Chord Grid question how to write a GM9

How do you write a GM9 in the chord grid? Or can you?

Hi

 

Sure

 

Enter a chord box, click New and add the fingering. Select the root note on the left

Does it have to be done with guitar tabs?

Simply click the "major second" box. It will be interpreted as tension 9.

Do you mean G9?

You need the seventh too.

The lead sheet just says GMaj9.

Ok that's the major second and the major seventh.

That's it thanks.

Are you going to use the global Chord track for your score?

If that's the case you better prepare yourself for a world of hurt.

 

Use the Chord text objects in the Score Editor instead. Trust me.

GMaj9.

 

Yep, the major 7th is part of that chord. I guess it depends on who writes it but as far as I know, when it's written like that the major 7th is "implied".

+1.

Because it is going to change the melody? I think I already am hurt. Why is that happening? I was using the "Chord text attribute in the Score Editor" but could not seem to enter Two Chords in one measure without it making the second Chord a smaller letter.

Yes, it's a mess -It transposes everything! You can use the Change display only option but I've run into some pretty nasty bugs in the past and simply abandoned it. Maybe it works in 9.1.8?

 

Hit TAB between your chords in the Score Editor when entering them.

 

I recommend that you read the chapter about the Score Editor in the manual. It's very easy to misunderstand how it works without having the proper background knowledge.

I have read thru it and I suppose I should go thru it again. I'm getting there. What I was doing at first which I will probably go back to is creating a separate track for the chords, then for fast entry typing the chord then tab to go to the next measure. But like I said, I run into the problem of entering two chords in one measure. One good thing about doing it this way is I can set up Score styles that show (Bass and Chords) (Two Guitars and Chords) etc.

The chord grid is not going to work. Thanks.

You're welcome Bob!

What would be the easiest way to test this in 9.1.8?
