I named a chord after you

Most corporations offer perks to their employees.  Harmonic Sense is no exception.

As appreciation for my good work as head of the marketing department (and wife of Ilya, the lead developer), I was recently awarded a chord option.

Chord options are similar to stock options, only they sound better.  As a musical software company, Harmonic Sense has a lot of musical IP.  This includes a vast body of knowledge on chords, chord voicings, and chord progressions.  A few days ago, Ilya developed an interesting new never-before seen chord and named it after me.

Even though this chord now technically belongs to me, this is such a great chord that I have decided to place it in the public domain.  Feel free to use this chord in your music any way you want.  Ilya recommends the following chord progression:

Ok, all joking aside, the point of this post is to let everone know that ChordMate now supports custom chords.  (As always, this update is free for existing customers).  Go to the Chord Progression menu and select Custom Chord.  Just enter the fingering for your chord [X 0 2 2 2 0] and the name of your chord.  That’s it!  You can play your custom chord, drop it into the chord progression window, or drag it into your favorite text editor. 

By the way — thank you everyone who took the time to write to tell us how you use ChordMate and what features you want.  And a special big thank you to the folk who sent us your songs, annotated with ChordMate diagrams!  I hope that the new custom diagrams make your life even easier.
