Though, I can easily imagine situations where <c e g d> is
dominant or
subdominant or tonic, depends on the surrounding circumstances.
True. But the reverse doesn't hold.
So far, I'd agree
Again, I disagree here. Correct ChordNames (together with some
common
agreements) will show only which pitches are present, not their
harmonic
function.
And that's precisely what C9 for <c e g d'> doesn't do. It implies
the
minor 7th that just isn't there, but, if present, would drastically
change the chord type. Let's put it like that: two vastly different
chords would become synonymous.
Agreed as well. (My point was to emphasize the absence of any
functional harmonic meaning with ChordNames.)
That's the point I was also emphasizing. As a Guitarist, I only have
four fingers to play a chord, and I'll never be aber to play something
like C13 with all of the notes, as long as Biology will not give me more
fingers. ;) But theres a difference between C6 and C13, and even if I
play C6, a piano player will make the difference, and that sould be
readable in the score…
And there's a difference between Cadd9 and C9 with a (probably not
playable or omitted) 7th.
Though this will have the above already mentioned disadvantage,
see the following example, last chord.
new ChordNames
chordmode {
set additionalPitchPrefix = #"add"
<c' e' g' bes' d''>
<c' e' g' d''>
c:7.9
c:5.9
c:5.7+.11+.13
In practical jazz improvisation you'd just omit a few tones from a
6 or
7 note chord. I don't know anybody who'd write a double "add"
there.
Everybody would call it a C [triangle] #11 13.
And that's the reason why 'additionalPitchPrefix' was changed.
Well, the point is: It was changed the wrong way: Nothing I ever saw
displayed Cadd6add9, and in that point I'm fine with the change, as we
(probably) (all?) whould write C6/9 in such a case, and then everyone(?)
would know, there's no 7th in the chord. (And I agree with Amy's
example.) Again: as a guitarist, many on the "add9" chords are played as
sus2 (lack of fingers, again); but still add9 is different from sus2, as
add11 is different from sus4.
The best solution is probably to have different defaults, but in any
way: if chords are intented musically different, they should display in
different ways…
