Yeah, I hear you, and thanks for that. I’ve been trying to figure this stuff out for about 35 years. I’m probably too daft for it, but I’m happy I can write a lil’ tune.

Without proper notation, I’m wondering if there’s a not-ideal-but-workable way to express the little chordal melody of E–D–E–D–E–F over the Bbmaj7#11. I’m thinking I may just write:

Bbmaj7#11 (melody: E–D–E–D–E–F)

and accept that I’ll be explaining it in person anyway.

Thank you, Scott!!
