Alternate chord notation

Description:
Additional alternate chord symbol notations (Harmony Assistant
only). Currently, HA only has Anglo-Saxon and Absolute Solfeggio (FaSoLa) notations available, determined by a checkbox in Preferences to enable Anglo-Saxon notation. Instead, this should be a group of Radio Buttons, or perhaps a drop-down menu, with additional choices: Anglo-Saxon, Absolute Solfeggio (with "Do" always being "C"), Relative Solfeggio (with "Do" being the Tonic of a Major Key, or "La" the Tonic of a Minor Key -- for instance,
in the Key of G Major, "Do" would equal G, not C), Roman Numerals:
Traditional (where, for instance, in the Key of C Major, a D minor chord would be "ii" but a D Major chord would be "V/V" instead of "II" since the D Major is the Fifth of the G Major, which is the Fifth of the Key of C Major), Roman Numerals: Case=Type (in the same example, D Major would be "II" but D Minor would be "ii" -- a D7 would be "II7" and a D Major 7 would be "II M7" while a D minor 7 would be "ii m7"), Roman Numerals: UpperCase
(the Roman Numerals would always be Upper Case, even for minor chords, which would use a "m" as usual: there would be no space separating the Roman Numeral from the chord type except in the case of a Major7 or some such chord which would cause an uppercase letter to be adjacent to the Roman Numeral: examples include "II", "IIm", "II7", "IIm7", and "II M7" for D Major, D minor, D7 (dominant), Dm7, and D Maj7, respectively.
A checkbox following this Radio Button Group or Drop-Down Menu would enable "compact" notation of Augmented and Diminished chords, using "+" instead of "aug" for Augmented chords, and "-" or "°" (degree) for Diminished chords.
This would apply to the selected chord notation system, altering it further:
for instance, a D diminished 7 chord would display as "Ddim7", "Re dim7", "ii dim7", or "IIdim7" in Anglo-Saxon, Solfeggio, Case-Type Roman Numerals, and UpperCase Roman Numerals, respectively, if "compact" were disabled. The same chord would display as "D°7", "Re°7", "ii°7", or "II°7", respectively, if "compact" were on. Perhaps an additional checkbox could be
used (that would be grayed out unless "compact" were checked) to force the use of "-" instead of the degree symbol for Diminished, even though that's not as musically correct, it would have fewer problems with cross-platform display.

A part ° pour diminué, il y a aussi Ø pour semi-diminué et delta pour majeur septième majeure (7M) qui sont aussi très utilisés.

Je soutiens totalement cette proposition qui permettrait effectivement d'utiliser une forme de notation des accords couramment rencontrée dans la notation 'jazz'.

Je vote "OUI"!!
Pouvoir passer d'un systhème de notation des accords à un autre est très judicieux et va satisfaire de nombreux utilisateurs, j'en suis convaincu.
Merci d'avance.

ok ! mais ce serai plutôt "mineur" pour "-" svp, non ?
Pourait-on mettre les tensions entre parenthèse ?
ex : C13(b9)(#11)
Et aussi Ø pour "demi-diminué" et delta pour "septième majeure" (7ème Majeur mais pas de contraintes sur la 3ce) ?

I voted yes because it is in many ways the standard. I would, however, like to also see an option for Nashville Numbering which is the same except it uses Arabic numbers rather than Roman.

I would propose to add the notation that specifies the bass (bass inversion)! (ex Do/re)

Try to write Do\re and you'll have Do/re on the score.
Regards.

it is true graphically, but if I write do\re in the grid of chords is not made by automatic accompaniments!

Je vote OUI.
On vient de voir sur le forum que la notation en chiffres Romains était souhaitée.
link: http://www.myriad-online.com/cgi-bin/bbs/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=displ ay;num=1255697905
Pour ma part je la pratique en étudiant l'harmonie par moi-même et il y a une abondante littérature la-dessus.
Ceci dit, HA permet la saisie dans les lignes d'accords associées à chaque voix, mais c'est un travail supplémentaire fastidieux de la part de l'utilisateur:
- une ligne d'accords pour spécifier les accidents de tonalité,
- deux à 4 lignes d'accords pour spécifier les structures d'accord (6 ou 6,4 ou 6,5barré etc.), ou alors on utilise une zone de texte
- et enfin une ligne d'accords pour spécifier la numérotation Romaine.
Je pense que HA pourrait réaliser cette tâche de façon automatique surtout qu'il effectue lui même la reconnaissance actuellement (V9.4.7c) . Pour les accidents de tonalité c'est une interprétation que l'utilisateur pourrait indiquer à HA et ce dernier recalculerait les degrés et structures des accords.
Pour que HA accomplisse la tâche on pourrait sur l'existant:
- indiquer les voix qui participent au calcul des degrés(c'est la cas actuel)
- indiquer le nombre notes (3,4..) qui définissent la structure de l'accord (c'est le cas actuel)
- enfin on pourrait indiquer en forcant l'accord, la tonalité accidentelle (ou de passage) qui correspondrait dès ce point à un changement de clé pour HA même s'il n'est pas indiqué graphiquement.
Amicalement.

I believe that this will be very useful, especially if the 'non-western scale' suggestion is ALSO adopted, and this proposal extended to encompass non-12-tone/non-octave scales as well.
