... how to do on these new fangled computator thing-a-ma-bobs ...

C#°

FΔ

Freakin' chord symbols!


& # 1 7 6 ; = diminished
& # 2 4 8 ; = 1/2 dim (or m7b5)
& # 9 1 6 ; = maj.7 (delta)

Remove the spaces between the symbols (and for whatever reason sometimes you don't need the semi-colon).

Cool! I'm gonna try it right now. Let's see if I can print one:

CΔ

I had found a way to do it before. But, you had to open up "Accessories" and find the "ALT Symbols", etc. This looks much easier!

Bingo! It worked.

On a mac alt-J gives you ∆

alt-0 gives you º

and diminished is.. let's see.. alt-o ø

I assumed it would be easier on a Mac. There's 'probably' a quicker way on a PC that I just don't know about.

I thought these were in the ASCII charts... never looked for those tho


There's a bunch of tables online with alt+ number shortcuts like these... finding the ones for the one not listed on them can be a bit tedious... or type them in a word file and save it as your reference for thos enot on the list

Example alt+0176 isn't on that list but gives you this °
alt+0176 = °
alt+0188 = ¼
alt+0189 = ½
alt+0248 = ø
