I regularly write out tablature and chords for guitar pieces that I post on YouTube, and the PDF for each piece is posted on my website. The PDF normally contains (a) standard musical notation (b) tablature (c) chord names underneath the tablature. My question concerns the absolute accuracy or otherwise of the chord names. As the melody line of a tune passes through the chord sequence, it changes the actual chord structure. If the note sounds through the chord, the change will be significant - if the note is short, the change will be insignificant. I sometimes wonder whether it is better to be strictly accurate in the chord names - i.e. taking into account each slight change - or whether simply to indicate the general chord name. Those users that read SN or tab will, of course, find all the notes - those who just want the chord sequence will get a lesser or more detailed view of the harmony - depending on how finicky I've been!

An example of four sequential chords & melody line in a bar:

0 0 2 0 2 0 = A7
0 0 2 0 2 1 = A+
0 0 2 0 2 2 = A6
0 0 2 0 2 3 = A7

The prevailing "main" chord in this bar is A7 - but it's tempting to be more specific and write A7 - A+ - A6 - A7...

Just curious if any other chord writers have a normal practice here. Mine is to keep to main chord except where the tune does impart a "significant" change to the chord.
