I've recieved some comments about the chord names in my transcription of Thelonious Monk's Everything Happens to Me https://youtu.be/fiDocVQAYRc?si=z0lnf... I tend to prefer simpler version of the chord names (Cm-F7-Bb), because it's it's easier to read. And to me, since I'm mainly transcribing jazz, I believe that the 7th (and other extentions) are implied: when I write Cm, I'm always thinking Cm7. Plus, you litteraly have the score in front of you, and you can see the 7th (and other extentions). But maybe I'm wrong, and it's confusing?

Which of these do you prefer?
