Is it possible to get the display in the Note Editor to look just like it does in the Chord Track? I want to see “C dim” written as “C dim” here and there—not “Cm(b5)” in the notation. ---

Technically speaking, Cdim would require a 7th while Cm(b5) is just a minor chord with a dimished 5th. ---

I sometimes find it limited and inaccurate in the interpretation of chord symbols. Here is an example among many others: Gadd9 (G-B-D-A). The interpreter indicates G9 as a symbol. In music theory, this symbol implies the presence of a minor 7th in the chord. Since GMAJ9 implies a major 7th in the chord (MAJ = 7Maj / 9 = major 9), therefore, in this case, G9 does not represent the chord played at all. The closest alternative a…
