Please excuse my english, I am not a native speaker. What do I have to do to make \IfEqCase recognize the argument correctly as the string "Db"? Or is there a different way of achieving the desired result? Suspended 7th chords - using the 2nd or 4th. In fact, these 7th chords are based on triad chords - the first 3 notes of any 7th chord are identical to a specific triad chord quality, with one extra note added to make it a 7th chord.

Strum four strings down from the A string. Ring finger on the 3rd fret of the B (2nd) string. Ring finger on the 3rd fret of the G (3rd) string. Ring finger on the 3rd fret of the D (4th) string.

I tried using xstring's \IfEqCase without luck: \documentclass % chords are transposed up one semitone, C becomes Db The Solution below shows the B major 7th chord in root position, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd inversions. The other common way to play this chord is in the 1st position and uses the A shape, like this: Index finger on the 1st fret of the A (5th) string.

In the audio, the notes of the chord are played in sequence, one after the other melodically first and then, played at the same time harmonically. Later on, I want to automatically typeset guitar chord diagrams based on the chords of a song, even if the song is transposed via the leadsheets options.įor now, I am not even able to run a basic MWE checking for the chord that will be printed. 1-3-5-7 B-flat major seventh chord hand position on piano Your browser does not support the audio element. For a personal songbook project I use the leadsheets package. The VII chord, being a major triad or dominant 7th chord, is a simpler-sounding chord and fills this harmonic gap in the key.
