I didn't mean to cause any damage. <g> The reason I was asking specifically about F#°⁷ was because of a post of mine in the most recent “As Time Goes By” thread. I constructed a diagram for F#°⁷ using the Online Guitar Chord Dictionary and the diagram it returns isn't a valid diagram. While trying to figure out why—I finally decided it was an arbitrary omission—I realized that they always seem to spell F#°⁷ as F# A C Eb and was simply curious as to the choice of names for the note I was calling D#.

A side benefit of the discussion, though, has been a thorough airing of the theory surrounding diminished seventh chords and the naming of notes in odd scales such as F# and Gb.

I think the discussion has been very helpful. Thanks to everyone who added to it and to Rick for starting this thread—although he had no intention of inviting such a discussion as this. <g>
