the chord structure you want is not there, you can “build” your own:

> C lick as many qualifiers as you want to appear to the right of your choice above . For example, for Bbm6b9 you
click Bbm above the line and click both b9 and 6 below the line .
> To unselect a qualifier you previously selected, simply click it a second time in the library .
5 . Then, optionally, you can specify a bass note by returning to the left side and selecting your choice from the small C
through B (and cicking a flat or sharp if needed) .
