chords-finder - a helping window - I do not understand
english:
Dear friends,
due to a unintended keystroke I disovered
the menue - you will find attached.
This seems to be very interesting, but I dont know, how to use it the best way.
I presume it can help to name the chords in a music piece.
I couldnt find any explanation in the german documentation.
Maybe it is a part of a plugin.
But who can give me advice in using it best and properly.
Especially the part on the right side - I do not understand.
Thanks for your help and all the best!
Greetings
Steve

Hallo Freunde,
ich habe eben durch falschen Tastendruck zufällig dieses Menü entdeckt.
Ich vermute, es soll helfen, die passenden Akkordbezeichnungen zu erstellen.
Das meiste meine ich auch zu verstehen, aber dieser Kasten ganz rechts (siehe Bild)
den verstehe ich nicht. Habe auch nichts erklärendes dazu im Manual gefunden.
Weiss jemand mehr über dieses hilfreiche Tool?
LG
Steve

Looks like you forgot the attachment - you have to hit Attach after selecting the file.
I'm guessing you might be referring to the dialog that appears if you right click a chordname and select Harmony Properties (and it's possible it might also come up in other situations).
EDIT: looks like I was right :-)
There is nothing magic about this dialog; it can't figure out harmony from notes, nor does it give you any special tools. It just gives you an alternative way of entering chordnames - you can either *type* Eb7b9/G, or you can bring up this dialog and click the "E" and "b (flat)" under root, "7" under extension, and "/G" under bass note. I can't imagine anyone finding this dialog easier than typing. It does have the advantage of guaranteeing the chord will be recognized, though. If you are trying to enter a complex chord and you aren't sure whether to type b5 before or b9, whether parentheses are needed, whether to abbreviate "major seventh" as ma7, M7, Ma7, maj7, or something else, this dialog does take the guesswork out. But better, in my opinion, to learn the conventions used by your selected chordname style (and try out the different styles to see which suits you best).

His question was mainly about the right hand side, where you can add .. what? Chords?

Hello friends,
i am back.
I have - hopefully sucessfully - attached now the missing screenshot.
Jojo was right too - my question is more about the right part.
I do not know what is meant by "GRAD" and so on, therefore I thought, there might be an explanation
in a tutorial or handbook.
Or somebody here might know.
Greetings to everybody.

That window is how youd enter the various alterations above and beyond the basic chords listed in the middle section. b5, #11, etc. i don't know the specifics of how to use it, but like I said, I cant imagine it ever being nearly as easy as simply typing the chord symbol.
