dominant 7th alt chord in "GLOSSARY - iReal Pro" thread
Hi, Moderator and Gabor,
I'd like to thank you all so much of the useful information
on All chords of iReal 2018 a/b chart.
But I've found questionable info here in
All chords of iReal 2018 b_gk (part 2).

The C7alt chord here has "1 3 b5 7" notes.
But IMHO C7alt could have "1 b2 #2 3 b5 #5 7".
I know not all of these are played at the same instant as a harmony,
but chosen notes (b9 or #2, and b5 or #5) are (should be) played in fact.
(there's a further discussion about altered chord in Wikipedia, if you want)
cheers,

Voicing a dominant 7th alt chord on the piano
It's a bit more sopisticated than "whack all the black keys." A pianist (at least I would do it this way) would often voice a C7alt chord with the 3rd-7th tritone in the left hand (E and Bb) and the #9 and b13 in the right (D# and Ab), often with the root in the middle; it would look like E and Bb in the left hand and an Ab triad with the Eb on top in the right hand. The "formula" is: the dominant 7th tritone with the b13 triad on top.
