mb5 chord

BIAB won't let me enter Bmb5 as a chord. It's a diminished triad (B D F). If I enter Bdim it plays (B D F G#) which is not what I want. I don't want Bm7b5 either.

Right now I'm using Dm/B which is okay in some styles but I really don't want the A note in there. Why won't it accept Bmb5? Is there another way of writing it that I'm not aware of?

Bob, go to opt, preferences, display, and about 1/2 way down the pop up window, you will see a check box for dealing with Dim chords. I have not used this yet, but have heard they finally made a way to play dim triads without the 4th note. Hope this helps. Jim

I'm not seeing that on the Mac version, Jim.

Good tip, on the 2014 PC version it looks like this:

I need a new brain. I spotted it right before Ian posted his reply.

There is no screen like that in the Mac version. $:\$
