C/e makes sense to me to distinguish more between chords and single notes but I don't think it's that important since slash chords are usually printed on different levels so that a quick recognition is guaranteed as well. I don't agree on the double sharp and flats and B# and Cb chords though. Doublesharp or flat chords are most likely not to happen anyway but Cb is quite common and I absolutely hate it when people replace it with B because it doesn't make sense. If a piece is in Ebm Cb is the chord symbol to put not B, that's off-key thinking. So yeah, I think it's essential to write chord symbols according to the key, even if it means to write double accidentals. > The difference between jazz chords and sheet music chords is > only in the accretion of cryptic symbols, of which the triangle is the > worst. But the triangle is the quickest way to display a major-seventh, is it not? If you're for quick recognition than I don't understand why you disapprove of the triangle.
