Chord notation guidelines
The current chord notation guidelines only advise on major, minor and seventh chords. There is no information regarding chords with more than one extension (e.g. 7add9add11 chords). I believe the standard is to add these in the superscript, like this: A7(add9/add11). Does anyone know if this is the correct format? SecretNinjaDave (talk) 20:51, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Extending from the current advice overleaf and looking at LilyPond's documentation, I think that's a commonly used notation and shouldn't raise any eyebrows. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Use of feet in music for pitch, organ stops, wind instrument air column length
Hi, I've started a discussion over on
- Righto, now that's sorted, perhaps we should discuss the use of eight-foot pitch notation (e.g.
16′ pedal stop
) for organ stops and wind instruments? — Jon (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Pitch
Considering the recent topic above (eight-foot pitch notation for organ stops), there is no discussion here in the MOS about pitch, which is pretty fundamental. Consensus in the literature seems to be orbiting around
]- I think scientific pitch notation is most commonly written in the subscript form (
C<sub>4</sub>
orC{{sub|4}}
-> C4). I would suggest not to use the Unicode character U+2084 ₄ SUBSCRIPT FOUR. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
