How to enter an 'add 11' chord

[nevermindthegrunge]

Hi all

I am trying to create a chart for 'Who knows where the time goes', beautiful song by Sandy Denny.

one of the chords in the progression is a B add11. Basically an E shaped chord played as a B (7th fret) but with open hiE and B strings. Sounds great. But as there is no 7th or 9th it isn't really a B11, more an 'add11'.

Is it possible to enter this somehow?

Thanks
Mark

There are two ways to include an unsupported chord on a chart.

Using the chord entry buttons in the editor just enter the chord as you wish.
Badd11
If the chord is not recognized by the player, the quality entered will appear in blue in the editor, but will print normally on the chart.
However, since it is unrecognized by the player only the chord root will play on the bass.

The other way is to add the unrecognized quality using text in addition to the chord you enter using the chord entry editor buttons. You still get B add11 on the chart but the player will sound the notes in the triad. You can place the text below, adjacent or above the chord.

Or, forgo the (3rd) E and use Bsus instead which is recognized.

Or try using Badd4 which is recognized (2024)

There is no way in iRp to force the player to play custom voicings.
The instructions other than recognized player chords you use are for the musicians.
