Re: chord :dim7

[Frédéric Bron]

Does this mean that if I want all dim7 chords be written "dim", I need to code 12 exceptions, one for each note?

I'm not fully understanding your question, but G#BDF is the spelling for
G#dim7, and G#BD is the spelling for G#dim.  If you simply want to get rid
of the "circle designation" for diminised chords in general, then you can
code a chord names exceptions list and override the circle to print as "dim"
instead.

If you search the archive for "jazzychord" I think you will find an example
of making chord name exceptions list.
