Re: triangle chord notation

[joelinux]

I agree with what you are saying about the minor chord with the added major 
7th.  It's a I minor with added major 7th.  as oppsed to the II minor 7th.

To me the CmM7 is clear, but I think it might be better to write Cm #7 or Cm 
(#7) if you are going to use the "#" 

If the #7 is printed in superscript, it would probably be okay.
