    Default Chord addition

    Please add support for diminished major seventh chords (flat 3rf, flat 5th, major 7th)

    I like using this chord in "But not for me" to work with the melody at the beggings of the 2nd and 4th quarters of the form. Also the second chord of "Corcovado"

    Thanks

    Would like to renew request for this chord as I often use it.

    Wouldn't the bass notes be different i.e., C to Eb. In one chord it would be C - C sharp (Db) - Eb. In the other, C - D natural - Eb.

    I think in the player, a bass note designated by a slash is pedaled. (In this case C) the "walking scale" would be up to the reader. So you agree that just from a notes-in-chord perspective the two chords contain the same notes?

    Yes to your last question,
    no to a walking bass line, B/C would have a C# and C dim Maj7 would have a D natural. F# or F and A or A#. Since I'm a pianist the bass line is more important to me.

    Yup, it's just a suboptimal workaround for the chord quality.
