Hi folks, Just love your program, it has saved me hours of lesson time teaching students songs I’m not familiar with. I was doing some edits on "Tonight” Balcony scene 2021 and needed a Bm7b5, Ive come across this chord before and not been able to easily get it so the algorithm isn’t hearing it. For this specific chord I used a Dbm/Bb but it’s not perfect lacking a dom 7th. Any chance adding it on an update? Of all the altered chords it’s the most popular! Thanks Michael Fradella

  Yes, for those of us who play jazz standards, the m7b5 chord appears often in ii V I progressions in minor keys and is the seventh chord in the diatonic scale.  For example: in jazz standards, you will see lots of 7ths .  In the key of C major, the diatonic chords are : Cmaj7,  Dm7, Em7, Fmaj7, G7, Am7, and Bm7b5.  The standard "Summertime" in the key of Am uses the ii V I progression:  Bm7b5, E7, Am7.  I am very disappointed that this important chord is not part of the selection of chords available in the chord library.

  Hey! I wanted to mention that recently the m7b5 was added to our 'improve' functionality.

  We are also still working on also detecting this particular chord automatically from our Chordification process, but at least for now whenever you come across it, you can manually edit the cell.
