i into chords.

[Marcol]

In the conversion by midi files to partiture music frequently appear chords type Cim (C minor with an added i). I don't know this notation.There is someone who can help me to understand the meaning. Thank you.http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/ima...s/confused.gif

You can go to "TEXT-G7-Chord-Chord Name Display Styles" and select the chord notation you would like. Unfortunately the standard setup is with "Cmin" rather "Cm" which is the kind of standard notation.

HI, Marcol:

In more formal notation (if chord symbols can be considered formal notation), the chords would be marked as, for example, Cmaj or Cmin.

The use of CM or Cm as shorthand is newer. It's faster and more compact, but perhaps a little less clear in the end, when you start to get chords like Cm13#7add9 -- which, by the way, is a neat sounding chord. What Guitar Player magazine used to call a "Sharpzenflugen" chord -- any chord which can only be fingered with the help of a second person in a white tuxedo.

As uttingrh said, the chord symbols can be edited to suit your tastes.

Good luck.

Hi, David:

I'm sorry, but I have another problem.

I know the formal notation (example CMaj or Cmin) and synthetic (example CM or Cm).

The problem is that I find on the score notations such Cimin, with the interposed i between C and min. I can not interpret the meaning of the i.

Thank you for your help, bye

Howdy guys,

Sorry for being late jumping in here - I've been down south helping my parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary

Marcello, the additional "i" in the chord name is an unfortunate bug that shows up sometimes for some chord types. For now the workaround is to simply double-click the chord name and manually delete that "i".

Sorry for the bother, but it is getting fixed for the next release

ttfn,
Sherry
