Re: add9 chords

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi Bart,

Lily's behaviour is quite correct. c:9 will produce a c major triad plus the ninth, ie <c e g d'> ... that's an add9 chord. A proper ninth chord is <c e g bf d'>, ie a stack of thirds. Thus, you'll need c:7.9 for a 9 chord. You can check it out if you put your chords in an ordinary Staff to see the notes. 

Best, Robert

Hi all,

I've searching for a way to add 'add9' chords to my own version of predefined fretboards, but whatever I do, it does not accept it and doesn't render it. I think the system doesn't allow 'add9' as chordname, because when I change it to '9', like 'c:9' it does render.

How can I solve this? I'm using both 9 and add9 chords for my guitarbook, and do need both, so using c:9 to describe c:add9 is quite confusing. 

I know I can modify chordnames, and in the chordnames I can get c:add9, but not in the fretboards. I do need the fretboards for these chords, it is a teaching book and I don't want to break the consistency.

Grtz,

Bart
