The chords definitions for dominant seventh chords are wrong. It says "Major seventh" everywhere it should really say "dominant seventh". The file containing the mistakes seems to be only "chords-root-position-definitions.json" I checked the github repo and all mistakes are still in so every version is affected. Would it be possible to add some chords to that file and have them show up automagically in the application?
Yes, that should work. If you want to do that just for yourself, you would have to find that file. I didn't find it yet, but will try to. However, adding definitions upstream also is an option. I will try to fix this mistake there.
Hmmm. I just looked through the definitions and they look correct to me. I will close this, if you disagree feel free to reopen and explain in further detail.
for example: { "tags": ["chord", "root-position", "major", "9", "extended"], "name": "Major 9", "sequence": "4 7 10 14" }, shouldn't say "Major 9" but "Dominant 9", because the seventh is a minor seventh. A Xmaj9 chord is a major chord with a major seventh with a major ninth added, a X9 chord is a major chord with a minor seventh and major ninth added. In the example the seventh has 10 semitones which makes it a dominant chord. I think the name of the chord is in all cases misleading. All "Major" and "Minor" names should disappear in favour of the correct chord symbol. the chord symbol should say X^9 because then its clear you want a dominant seventh chord with a major ninth. A X^maj9 chord would contain a major seventh and a major ninth
Ah, you are talking about the bigger chords. I only checked the seventh ones. Yes I agree that symbols would be better. I don't yet know how to render them correctly, but will think about it.
I looked into it a bit more and now think the chords that have a proper name should be called by that name. I will work on it and probably make a MR in the next days.
I made a [branch](https://invent.kde.org/kuchenmampfer/minuet/-/tree/overhaul_exercises?ref_type=heads) already containing a chord rework that should fix this. However, I decided that while I am at it, I might as well overhaul all the definitions and exercises. So the MR will have to wait until that is done.
