7 in a circle for major 7
Is it possible to add the above symbol?
Best would be a one key shortcut to make this appear.

An example?

Double-click on a fingerprint?

That works thank you.
It takes a number of adjustments to make it the right size and place it where I want, but that is a definite work-around.
All the best, :)

Great.
I have now also figured out how to save the symbol so I don't need to generate it every time.
So I can drag it where I need it and make the adjustments.
Thanks again.

from the text bar you can use the settings
and use Style/Text...

This isn't a standard musical symbol in this context so it isn't part of the SMuFL standard that I am aware of and thus not part of the fonts we include. That said, if you have a font of your own that includes this character and you use that font for your chord symbols, you can include it same as any other special character, by pressing F2 while typing your text and selecting it from the Unicode section of the dialog.

Yes.
I only saw this symbol in "The Other Book". //PS: not "The Other Book All New"
And when I first saw this symbol, I couldn't figure out what it was.
Here is a screenshot.

I learned to read and write charts in the '60s. It was common to my peers then and many players I know now are also cognizant of this symbol.

In my youth, we used "∆7" or "#7" for Maj7.
for 7#5 we used "7aug" or "7+" ;
for m7b5: "m7-" or "ø7"
Now Maj7, 7#5 and m7b5 is standard.

I always have preferred the simplest way. I still use the o with a slash through it for 1/2 dim.
Another thing that has bothered me is that I have recently found out that people accept the triangle as meaning only "major". I learned many years ago that it meant Maj. 7.
If it means only major, it is useless as major is also indicated by mentioning only the chord as in "C". There is no need for the triangle.
Just had a discussion about this in a rehearsal with some very knowledgeable musicians.

In the early days, we used only the triangle symbol for maj7. like: C∆
But some musicians didn't understand and asked :"What does this triangle mean?".
In some cases, the chord symbols looked like hieroglyphs. like: C∆+
We added the number 7 because we saw it used in some books. ex: C∆7, C∆7+
I don't think the triangle means Major.
I have associated triangle's sharp looking with the sharp sound of Maj7 chord (in my mind), like round dim symbol with round sound of dim.

I once read something that claimed the original definition for triangle was intended to mean triad, and in fact that is why the symbol was chosen (TRI-angle for TRI-ad). Might have been Sonny Rollins saying this? Anyhow, I don't get the sense that anyone thinks of it that way any more.

If you feel it is something in common enough use that software should support it natively, then it would be useful to contact the folks at Steinberg who define the SMuFL standard and request this. See www.smufl.org
