Chapter 10: Jazz Chord Symbol Graphics

“Jazz Chord Symbol Graphics” (circles, triangles) now supported!

Jazz and Pop music often use certain non-alphabetic symbols for chord types. These include a delta (triangle) for

major chords, a circle for diminished, and a circle with a slash for half-diminished. Also, tensions like b9 and b13

are stacked vertically and contained in brackets. You can now select this option, and see these symbols for

display/printout on the Chord Sheet, Notation, and Lead Sheet windows.

The Jazz Chord Symbol Graphics can be displayed independently on the

Chordsheet and the Notation or Lead Sheet windows.

To get the Jazz Chord Symbol Graphics on the Chordsheet, choose Opt. | Preferences | Display Options and set

“Chordsheet Font” to “Jazz Chord Symbols.”

You’ll then see a chord sheet like this.

To see the Jazz Chord Symbol Graphics on the Notation/Lead Sheet printout, set the Notation Options. The

Notation will then look like this.
