Talk:Chord notation

message: It would be very useful to add a column to some (most?) of the example tables with the analogous Roman numeral notation.  Even in pop and rock commentary, references are often made to chord progressions such as I-V-IV etc., and this would greatly help the neophyte reader.  I'm not a musician, or I'd add them myself.

:But not what this is about. Every chord name and symbol described in here can be applied to any of the notes on the scale; thus, there's a I maj and a V maj and a VII maj etc. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  05:28, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

message: Why is the title changed again? This is the worst possible name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.125.107.112 (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This name was changed without any discussion. It's the worst one yet. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  17:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A year later, I've moved this back to the previous name. Next time before a rename let's get some consensus. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  15:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chord letters? 

message: The delta symbol was always used to indicate "Major 7th" - used by itself it indicates this. C∆ means "C Major 7th". C∆7 is redundant, but is understood to mean the same thing. Yusef Lateef's Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns as well as Coltrane's own hand written lead sheet for Naima (1959) sttest to this, as does general usage. 
The delta symbol is not used to represent triads, at least it shouldn't be. We already have a historically established way of indicating a triad - if you want to indicate C triad, for example, write "C". This is the way. Regional differences notwithstanding, this is one of the few instances when you can say "this means this and only this." 
Musicians and educators who either didn't understand the meaning of the original symbol, or needed some way to emphasize the need for a clear triad from a chord player who insisted on adding extensions (color tones) to every chord, are partly responsible for a misunderstanding that continues to this day. It is not an "ambiguous" symbol - it has a clear meaning. The fact that a triangle has three sides and a triad has three notes is entirely irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8803:9402:b000:bdc5:9d2c:357a:55f5 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the delta shouldn't be used for major, but _is_ it used for major? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Delta is used to mean "Major 7th interval above the root." It does not mean "major triad". 2600:8803:9402:B000:F1AC:7EAA:1481:CE39 (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
