Minor major seventh chord

A minor major seventh chord, or minor/major seventh chord (also known as the Hitchcock Chord) is a seventh chord composed of a root, minor third, perfect fifth, and major seventh (1, 3, 5, and 7). It can be viewed as a minor triad with an additional major seventh. When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by e.g. m(M7). For example, the minor major seventh chord built on A, written as e.g. Am(M7), has pitches A-C-E-G:


{
\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
\relative c' {
   \clef treble
   \time 4/4
   \key c \major
   <a c e gis>1
} }

The chord can be represented by the integer notation {0, 3, 7, 11}.
