Adding Chord Types

[KKSergio]

Hi,

I tried to add new chords and it actually worked (it got the change I made) but the plugin added a "7" at the end of the chord name which I cannot intercept. Can you help me with this? I added 9th and m9th chords as follows:

var chord_type = [ [4,7],  //M (0)
                   [3,7],  //m
                   [3,6],  //dim
                   [2,4,7],  //9 = Ninth <-- the first chord I added
                   [2,3,7],  //m9 = Minor Ninth <-- the second chord I added
                   [4,7,11],   //MM7 = Major Seventh
                   [3,7,10],   //m7 = Minor Seventh
                   [4,7,10],   //Mm7 = Dominant Seventh
                   [3,6,10]];   //dim7 = Half Diminished Seventh

var chord_str = ["", "m", "o", "9", "m9", "MM", "m", "Mm", "o"];

Actually, a 9th chord has a 14 semitones interval after the root note, but if I state, for example, [4,7,14] or [3,7,14] nothing happens. What is this due to?

As you can see, I also changed the "chord_str" variable, in order to get the correct name. Though, what I get for a Cm9 chord is what you see below:

The played chord is not a Cm97 chord but a "simple" Cm9. How can I solve this? Is this due to inversions and - if yes - how should I change variables?

Thank you

Hi,
It comes from this test: https://github.com/rousselmanu/msc_plugins/blob/master/chordIdentifier.qml#L247
where I assumed that if the chord has 3 intervals it is a seventh chord... this is no longer true if you add 9th. You would have to change this...

It sets the variable "seventhchord" to 1, and then adds the "7" to the chord name at this line:

Mmmmmm... that's an issue.
There are so many chords (i.e. Cm9#11) in which chord notes are more than three, actually. Therefore it is not so true that if a chord has three notes it is a 7th chord.
I am not a programmer, therefore I don't know how to proceed.
How would you change this or - can you tell me how the program recognises the notes, step by step?
Thank you
