Option for C(no3)?

Would the team be open to considering an additional option for a 5 chord that displays “no3” in addition to the “omit3”?

I imagine the follow-up question would be “Can you show us a compelling example of this usage?” At the moment I can’t, although I have seen it quite a bit, and sometimes prefer it myself.

I think it’s generally used with parentheses. C(no3).

I’ve seen no3 a lot more than omit3. I way prefer C5 for this though…

I’ll certainly make a note of it for the future.

Can I get that to display as “C (Badass guitar power chord)”? I’m not sure all the guitar players know what “omit” means.

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

Can bass guitar players count up to 5? You only need “one, two, a few, a lot” to count beats :wink:

The ones who can count to 5 are welcome to join the union. :slight_smile:

In the U.K. if you’re prepared to stump up the £11.75 per month you can join the union, whether you can count to five or not. (Proud MU member)

I wish my M.U. only cost £11.75 a month…!

This is a really old thread. I would also like to write (no3) instead of (omit3), as is done in most jazz scores.

When searching for this, AI offered me the following solution: ‘Customisation: You can adjust the appearance of these chords in Engraving Options > Chord Symbols, allowing you to choose between “F5”, “F(no3)” or “F(omit3)”’…

But either I’m blind, because I can’t find this Engrave Mode option, or the AI has simply hallucinated here. Is anyone else better informed on this subject?

I’m better than the AI, in any case…
Here you can’t:

Here you can:

But intervals and omitted notes are two different things, obviously…
