[Dixielandjazz] European Chords

[Bruce Stangeland]

Craig,

My music program, Finale, has about 8 options for how to do chord symbols.
Here are 5 of their choices.

What were the specific chords that you couldn't interpret?

European:       C  Db    D  Eb  E  F  Gb    G  Ab  A  Bb  B(natural sign)
German:         C  Des  D  Es  E  F  Ges  G  As  A   B   H
Solfeggio:      Do Ra   Re Me Mi Fa Se  So  Le  La  Te Ti

Does anyone have a cheat sheet for interpreting European chord symbols found
in jazz?
(Actually a couple I've seen might not even be known to me in American
symbols)
I'm trying to interpret some of the symbols from the "Anthologie des Grilles
de Jazz".
-- and the ones I'm talking about are not covered in the explanatory pages
in the front.
