Chord naming

• Mar 19, 2015 - 16:46

i have a score and it shows the chord names e.g. As "GonB", etc. the bass chord (for keyboard) is shown against this as b and G as the chord to be played.

What does this "on" expression mean? And

Can muse score represent this as a chord name?

Thanks. Muses core 2 installed.

I've never seen the notation "GonB". The standard notation in most parts of the world for a G chord with a B in the bass is "G/B". MuseScore will correctly undersatand that. If you write "GonB", it will understand the G but won't know what to do with the "onB", so it will display but won't transpose. That is, if you later transpose up a step, you'll get "AonB". If you really need to copy the "GonB" notation rather than replace it with the more standard "G/B", I guess you could enter the "Gon" and "B" as separate chords. and just manually move the "B" to the right so it lines up with the "Gon" and looks like one chord.
