Q. I know what D7 is, but I have no idea about D-7. Does that mean the same as Dm7? I just came across this in "The Real Book," 6th edition.
A. Yes, it is a Dm7! There is no standardization in this. You have to learn which style a particular arranger or copyist uses and go with the flow. Sometimes you will see major and minor indicated with upper-case "M" and lower-case "m'. Other times you will see the aforementioned minus sign "-" to indicate a minor chord and a delta symbol (small triangle) to indicate a major chord. Frequently you will see major indicated by "Maj" and minor by "min". Unfortunately there is no standardization. Sometimes you have to figure it out from the arrangement: What works best?
An arranger or copyist (usually) always employs the same indicators in all their manuscripts. Usually a publisher will use the same naming convention throughout a book. However, THE REAL BOOK(s) arrangements are mixed because they are the actual working arrangements from many different artists representing many different arrangers and copyists!
In re-reading this I noticed that there may be a question on the "7" in a chord symbol. It is usually understood that the chord will be a dominant-seven with the 7th tone in the scale of the chord name lowered a half-step. Thus the answer that said "D-7" (your original question) is D-F-A-C is correct. The "-" sign denotes an F-natural (minor third) rather than the normal F# in a D scale. The "C" is natural because it is a dominant-7 chord. A Dmaj7 would have the "C#" which is the normal 7th tone in a D scale. What about a Dmin7 with a "C#"? In other words, D-Fnatural-A-C#. How is this written? There is no standardization! I have seen it as Dm-maj7 and Dm-add C# but there are other ways.
