We seem to be in agreement except for one concept: The idea of a jazz/pop chord symbol being based on a melodic minor scale, or any other scale for that matter, is irrelevant. There is no way for a person reading the chords to guess what form of minor mode is being invoked. Scores do not say up

Right. But the double flat does not break down the system, any flat or sharp in the name is additive to the accidental already on the "natural occurring" note of the chord root key. In the case of Ab9 the 9th (Bb) already has an accidental of flatted Ab9=, So saying Ab(b9) renders Ab(b9)=, (b+

Here is how I understand it: Jazz/pop chord symbols are to be considered literal. That means, the key signature is Not Ever to be considered. A 6 is always a major sixth. A seventh is always a minor seventh. A 9 is always a major ninth. An 11 is always a P11, and a 13 is always a major 13. Wh

No, the #7 notation is only valid for chords based on the melodic minor scale. In the USA we would typically call this for example CmM7 in Europe they may call it Cm#7 in both cases the note stack is the same . Speaking it, it's called "the minor major seventh chord", check out the song "When Yo

The semantical meaning of a chord in LilyPond is that all notes of the chord belong to one and the same voice, so it does not make sense to change staff for only one of the notes. If you want to change staff for the full voice, then you can use 4 \change Staff=staffTwo /Mats Andre Schnoor wrote
