ChordNamer! v1.2 -- An Interactive Chord Naming System

ChordNamer! v1.2 provides chord look up for those musicians who would rather read chord 
symbols than stacks of notes.  62 chord types are recognized--simply click the notes you 
want on the staff, play them to hear how they sound, and then have the program name it for 
you.  ChordNamer returns a name or a list of names for the chord, if the chord can be named, 
and returns łUnknown˛ if ChordNamer! cannot name the chord.  (Note:  When łunknown˛ is 
returned, it doesnąt mean the chord doesnąt have a name, it just means ChordNamer! 
couldnąt name it with the 62 chord forms it knows...).

ChordNamer! v1.2 recognizes the following chords:    Major,  Minor,  Major 7th,  Minor 7th,  
Dominant 7th,  Major 9th,  Minor 9th,  Major 6/9,  Minor 6/9,  Major 6th,  Minor 6th,  Dominant 
9th,  Major 11th,  Minor 11,  Dominant 11th,  Major 13th,  Minor 13th,  Dominant 13th,  Major 
7b5,  Minor 7b5,  Dominant 7b5,  Major 7#5,  Dominant 7#5,  Dominant 7b9,  Dominant 7#9,  
Diminished 7th,  Augmented,  Suspended 2nd,  Suspended 4th,  Dominant 7th suspended 4th,  
Dominant 9th suspended 4th,  Dominant 7th suspended 2nd,  Major add 9,  Minor add 9,  
Minor/Major 7th,  Major add 4,  Minor add 4,  Major (no 3rd),  Dominant 9#11,  Dominant 13b9,  
Major (no 5th),  Minor (no 5th), Major flat 5, Diminished Triad,  Major (no 3, 5), Suspended 2nd 
(no 5th), Major flat 5 (no 3rd), Major 7th (no 3,5), Suspended 2nd flat 9 (no 5th), Major add #9 
(no 5th),
Major add 11, Minor add 11, Major add b9 (no 3rd), Dominant 7th (no 3,5), Major 7th#11,
Major 9th #11, Minor 7#5, Dominant 13#9, Dominant 7b9b5, Dominant 7#9b5, Dominant 
7b9#5, and Dominant 7#9#5. 

Note that ChordNamer! will follow some of the rules guitarists do in naming chords, in that 
not all the steps in the chord must be included for a given chord.  (For example, a guitarist 
often plays a Dominant 13th chord with only 4 notes--the Root, 3rd, 7th, and the 13th...)
