Chords and Chord Progressions: updated the nomenclature, changed Caug to Ca and Cdim to Cd

This table shows how altering the 3rd or the 5th affects the name of the triad (+ and o are conventional abbreviations for aug and dim).
This table shows how altering the 3rd or the 5th affects the name of the triad The conventional abbreviations for aug and dim ate + and o. These are rather cryptic, and can be replaced with the more obvious and intuitive a and d. Likewise the symbols Δ and − can be replaced with M and m.

All 7th chords follow this same pattern. Likewise, if a 6th is not a P4 or A4 above the 3rd, it's an "add-6" chord. Permitting add-7 chords has the added benefit that the wordy "minor-7 flat-5" and the illogical "half-dim" can be replaced with "dim add-7", written Co,7.

In the table below, if a chord is '''bolded''', the comma must be spoken as "add". In non-bolded names, the comma can be omitted when writing the chord, although that might make the chord name less readable.
