Serious, is there a command line tool or a GUI based tool that
"calculates" cords?
OT: At least I should fire up Qtractor now, but I'm still short in time.
FWIW I don't care, I only know that the OP is mistaken, because I teach
music and the pupils wished to know about theory. For "God's sake", in
Germany we also have a "theory of harmony" regarding to it's
functionality, e.g. c d# f# a is a symmetrical cord. Nobody cares about
it's name, but we care a lot about the emotions people listening to this
cord.
Since I'm a guitarist most of the chords I prefer are named insane.
Jimi Hendrix: Eb(no 3rd), Aadd9 and the sharp ninth, E7#9. Set to the
situational context I simply name "E7#9" "E major", so a simple blues
gets "Voodoo Chile"-quality.
However, as long as we don't try to get a certificate from an academy,
the names of cords are completely irrelevant.
It's bullshit, nobody needs to know. For a gig we need to know what
emotion should be transmitted, so we only need scripts that remind us to
the basics, such as C or C-. If the cord is a 7, major or minor etc.
shouldn't matter.
Ralf, no hard feelings but may Hendrix et al. have mercy on you if you can't distinguish a 7 from a 7+ or a 7m
