Ok, great! We' re on the same page. I made the alterations and I'll accept your answer. Thanks :)

But everything else is fine. What do you think?

3rd paragraph: "If this the intention is for the soloist to play phrygian dominant". Is this grammatically correct? It sounds weird to me.
3rd paragraph: "pianist/guitarist"
3rd paragraph:" implies what scale to play" -> "implies what notes are available to play"

2nd paragraph (Just a doubt) - You corrected a CM7(#11) for CM9(#11). Isn't CM7(13) defined as having the 9 and the 11, just as C11 contains b7 and 9? So isn't C9(13) redundant?

1st paragraph: "and the scale that is" -> "and the notes that are"
1st paragraph (just a typo): "an major augmented" -> "a major augmented"
1st paragraph (Additional sentence at the end, which I think makes makes my idea clearer): "However, since the CM7 symbol doesn't specify the quality of the 2th, 4th and 6th, it could convey a lydian, jonian, harmonic major mood, and others. Is this reasoning correct?"

Based on this, I'll make just the following re-edits:

Title stays the same as before with an added parenthesis: "Does the existence of a chord tone (in the chord symbol) imply the absence of another?"

Of course, one can go a step further and ask if the presence of a chord tone gives information about any other chord tone: what happens to the 5 if you see b13 or what happens to the 4 if you see #5, etc... and exhibit some set of existing conventions like you did, which was indeed the best answer.

It's not a radical difference and in the end it's the same thing, because the notes will form a scale, but I didn't want to explicit just the most known scales. So, my question deals with what happens to the 5 if you see a symbol #5 and what happens to the 4 if you see a symbol #4.

Hi, jdjazz. Indeed your edits clarified several sentences I made (not a native English speaker here ;() and I agree with most of them. However you put an emphasis on the idea of scale that I didn't have in mind. I didn't want the reader to think about the chord-scale theory (a mapping between a chord symbol and a scale), but really on notes.

Test.
