Minus for minor is a horrible idea. It's also old fashioned

What do you mean by "the" Real Book? I have a copy of the original Real Book. It uses the "-" for minor. I tried to exactly recreate an old Real Book page. That's the reason I posted my question. Personally I prefer "m" for minor.

It could be ignored as a
spacer. Minus could be taken to mean "omit". Cmmaj7 is more
readable than than C-maj7. Don't do it. Regards, Rale

Uggh. I agree C-maj7 is extremely ugly. Hadn't thought of that.

Anyway, it's another example that with LilyPond anything is possible, even ugliness :-)
