    Many of them are obvious as they use letters and numbers. But some of them use special symbols.
    Can someone explain me the meaning of these 3 symbols:

    1) the delta symbol
    2) the circle 'o',
    3) the 'o' with a '/' across

    I appreciate incoming help.
    Δ = major7
    O = diminished
    ø = half-diminished m7b5

    thank you.
    I'm a bit confused, though.
    What's the difference between ^ and ^7 then?
    I mean, if ^ is maj7 what's ^7?

    thanks in advance.

    All different ways of writing the SAME chord. (1,3,5,7)
    The iRp player recognizes them all.

    Some folks have strong opinions about which they prefer.
