Slash chord search. Is there any improvement in SCALER to make the chord search more convenient? For example, when I type Cmajadd9, this chord or similar ones will appear at the top.

When I type a slash chord, many slashes will appear for me to choose from, all of which are commonly used.

I second this for a couple reasons:

1. In order to know a given slash chord is an inversion, it requires knowing theory on inversions (which is perhaps more advanced than what the standard Scaler user accepts, indeed I could imagine that many people use this plugin to close some of those advanced theory gaps). I just went to add a G7/B and didn’t stop to realise it was G7 first inversion, and I’m someone who does understand inversion theory.

2. Editing the chord mislabels the result: I took a G7 and simply altered it accordingly and the label changed to Bdim#5, which is of course inaccurate.
