My main instrument is the trumpet, I have classical training but switched to jazz 10 years ago. I play in a big band, and a funk-pop band.
I can play some piano, and find my way around on a guitar.
I like typography (including music notation), and music theory.

What is a 13th chord? (i.e. the soloist assumes mixolydian while the chord instrument assumes lydian dominant. Plus that if F13 is the dominant chord, the soloist is likely to play in Bb major, thus Bb. If the tonality is C minor (with major 6th and 7th), then B is better.) |

What is a 13th chord? I do agree that the natural 11 is more awkward than the #11. But the #11 changes the sonority of the 13 chord very much, so I'd say that the #11 is omitted in most cases (more often than played). Maybe not the case whe you play the chords, and it's just fine. As a soloist I often play the fourth of a dominant chord as a passing note. If the chord instrument plays a #11 that would sound kind of strange, wouldn't it? |

How do I play these broken chords on a piano? Ah, you mean the top note of the broken chord, not the melody note! Thanks. |

How do I play these broken chords on a piano? So you say that playing the start of the broken chord (its lowest tone) together with the melody note, followed by the arpeggiation, would be wrong? |

What is a 13th chord? @gurneyalex: I don't think this is a 100% truth. First, the 11th is often omitted anyway (the 11th either raised or not, changes the color so much...). Then, wikipedia (I know, wikipedia is not always right, but still) does not agree: "A thirteenth chord does not imply the quality of the ninth or eleventh scale degrees." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth The same article says also: "The underlying harmony during a thirteenth chord is usually Mixolydian or Lydian dominant", which differ only in their natural/raised fourth. |

What is a 13th chord? The #11 is also very often dropped in the 13 chord, I believe. A typical one-handed voicing for F13 on the piano is Eb-G-A-D (which assumes a bassist, but not necessarily). |

Finding chords that sound like a single note Wow, how could you guess that OP was looking for power chords? Impressive. |

Scale modification in sus2 and sus4 chords This is not my point. My point is that in a sus chord, the third is replaced by the fourth. In an aug chord, the fifth is modified (not replaced) but is still a kind of fifth. |

Trying to program a piano staff/stave. Is this what it's supposed to look like? I have yet to see any printed material with circles (or rather discs), I have only seen that in beginners' handwriting. |

Four dotted sixteenths in a triplet Maybe it is the software tool that he is using that tries to be too smart? I guess the rhythm in another voice may have disturbed this one, say if another instrument does play a triplet. |

Scale from Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 Why would you discard mixolydian b6? I think that is the correct answer. |
