notate a shortened chord?
Hi there,
I would like to write the chords for my song, but I can't manage to notate a shortened chord, i.e. a chord without a root note, for Musescore 4. Normally you would write "D7" there, for example, and then draw a slash through the D. But that's not possible. "D7omit1" would also be a way.
Greetings Lars
P.S.: I don't want to simply add a line by hand. It should also be played and be audible that the root note is not played.

The most common way to notate that chord (a D7 without the D) would be as an F#dim.
But if you insist on this non-standard way of naming it, use your second option:

Still has a D in it (even 2)

I didn't suggest it would playback correctly. I said that's how to notate it. Though, as I also said, it would be better still to notate it as F#dim.
