Topic: Chord naming confusion
Firstly please bare with me as my music theory is pretty minimal, so with that in mind...
I was playing around last night and my interest was drawn to a combination of three notes (using them in the left hand) which were E, Bb and D.
Pianoteq identifies these as a C9 chord (just those three notes played !) and while, yes, those notes are in a C9 surely that's not the correct name for that set of notes ? Pianoteq does also identify the full C9 chord correctly, BTW.
On online chord identifier came up with E7b5sus (which is new territory for me).
So is Pianoteq wrong in naming it this way or am I simply misunderstanding the chord naming conventions (good odds on that last one) ?
Thanks in advance.
