A half diminished chord or a m7b5 chord are the same thing...

I hate the fact you can write things a dozen ways. Pet Peeve is that when you see a diminished symbol after a chord notated, it means a diminished 7th.... :rolleyes:

The only way I can cope is to only use the word 'diminished' when I really mean it - if an alternate exists for another variant that is further away, I'll go with that....
