Notating inversions
Got any tips on how to do this correctly? What's the difference in notation for a the I chord in 1st inversion, and also the I6 chord? I mean I know how to notate them on paper, but how do I do this in Muscescore? I am using the chord entry Ctrl+K. Is that right for this, of is there some other way to do this?

They denote the same thing. To enter Roman Numeral chord notation, use Add > Text > Roman Numeral Analysis and type I6 and watch what happens.

That's right. They do. Wait. In C, the I6 is C E G A. The first inversion of I is E G C. So, no they don't denote the same thing. Unless I am missing something.

You're right and I'm right.. In Jazz, C6 means CEGA . In classical theory and analysis, I 6 means the 6-3 inversion of I, if it's C, then E G C. CEGA is a 6-5 chord, the first inversion of A minor 7. Roman Numeral notation is used less in jazz, and I 6 to mean the 6-5 chord on the first degree is pretty ambiguous.

I think you can drop both the 3 and the 5 from your notation system. They are implied in these simple chords. The only reason to cite these pitches in in a peculiar use of a 9th and above.

It's hardly "my" notation system, nor up to me how to notate or figure chords. Take it up with Bach and Mozart.

It took you exactly 31 minutes, but I knew that you would find a loophole.
