Hi, just a musical-notation-question. I whish to record a new song, but the sheetmusic has some strange chordnames that I don't recognize. As there are -Bbj7- and -Cj7- and -H7-. I think my eyes are still good and it seems no misprints, so maybe one can help me to get the right chords. Especially the 'j' and 'H' are unfamiliar to me. I thought the 'H' could be for a 'B'???
Thanks in advance,
Cees

Hi Cees,
It's possible that the Bbj7 and Cj7 could be BbMajor7 and CMajor7- somtimes also written as BbM7, BbMaj7 CM7, CMaj7. I've also seen the use of 'H' in German based music and believe it is the same a 'B'. Maybe one of our other friends can confirm this

That's similiar here in Norway as well Bill,
and I think in the rest of Scandinavia too.
