Hello,
Sometimes I would like to leave out a specific chord tone (mostly the fifth)
In writing it could look like e.g. C7(omit 5)
Or am I missing a trick to get that effect?
Kind regards

“Omit” is not currently recognized by the player as a valid instruction.

Thanks for the reply.
As this feature would mostly serve to avoid clashes with tensions in the melody, I'll use the chords of the app with the correct tension as long as it sounds in the melody, and switch to the 'normal chord' when needed.
Maybe it clutters the sight but hey... one cannot have it all....
Often posted charts use extensions that mirror the tensions in the melody.
Playing those qualities every time can restrict the freedom of the soloist.
Some charts suggest either alternate solo-changes or or provide a specific player section for solos.

There are a wide range of choices between vanilla and “outside” re-harm changes.
Alternate chart versions are always welcome and are often instructive.

Often guitar players will omit the fifth… Which got me thinking when you change from say piano to guitar do the voicing and notes change? I think they do? Piano chords, probably would sound weird on guitar? And the specific guitar play-along‘s probably use guitar voicings? I would think the OP would have better luck with perhaps the guitar trio play-along.
Don't post a playlist as the songs in a Realbook if the changes aren't from the book.
If you do transcribe changes from a book put it in the title RB1, RB2, GGB, Sher, etc
