How do YOU write augmented? Diminished?

I use "+" sign for augmented. For diminished, I write a little "o" to the right of the number like a "degree" symbol (as in Fahrenheit).

I had this chord -- b3*7

Flat three diminished seventh.

{I can't type a degree symbol, the asterisk is the substitution.)

My duo guy didn't know what it was. I guess I will have to start always writing out "dim." that sure gets busy when you're trying to write with a felt tip.

ANOTHER QUESTION:

Do you space out your chords so that are equidistant apart, denoting time? I have been doing this. It seems you could use pre-ruled graph paper or something and make this easier. If not, this just doesn't matter or what? In your post on "time," you said each number means a measure. If two chords, put in underline or a box or parentheses. But do you space out everything evenly?

If each chord was exactly one beat of two beats or whatever, your chart numbers would all line up vertically. Is this what you do?

This is what I have been doing but yesterday my friend showed me a chart he was proud of. I'm sure it will work BUT there was zero apparent horizontal time. The chords for a lyric line were all run together with all of them separated by a "/" -- a slash.

I don't know, that seems that could be problematic if you wanted to write a slash chord (a chord with a certain note in the bass.) Or is this how you do it?
