Re: triangle chord notation

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

You'll hardly find a jazz fake book that does not use triangles somewhere or
always for M7, take a look at Aebersold, Hal Leonard, Sher, etc.  It's
pretty widely accepted norm when you dont want the dominant 7th form, in
jazz generally the 7th is always assumed flatted unless there is M, Maj or a
triangle.

The "o" with a slash through it now, that is less widely known, most people
prefer to see "m7b5" instead, that one IS an abomination because so many
people dont notice that slash and play a diminished chord mistakenly.

The "o" with no slash for diminished and "+" for augmented 5th forms are
widely accepted though.
