That's true. > whereas "B11" is <b dis fis a cis e>: quite a different beast. That would be B9/11 (The septh ist included in the 9, otherwise one would write add9). > Where "/G#" fits in, I don't know. What have I missed? That's just the bass. So your whole thing would be <gis b dis e fis>, which one could also write as G#m7b13. ;) (at least to my knowledge, jazzchords are some years ago for me...) -- MfG Jan
