What does the indication BVII6 mean. I know it's a barre chord position but I don't understand what the number means.
It has been suggested that I include an image so I will try:

Just to be clear on things, does it show a B or a b, where b could be a flat? Flat 6 would indicate that the root of the chord is b6, which would be Ab in C, and the 6 could either mean first inversion if it's classical notation, which should have the 6 in superscript, or it could be a major 6 chord. If it is indeed a notation for a barre chord, I wouldn't be familiar with that notation. As Tim suggested, an image would be very helpful in determining what is actually being called for with this symbol. – Basstickler Jan 09 '18 at 17:40

@LaurencePayne Nice catch! Voting to close as duplicate. – Todd Wilcox Jan 09 '18 at 18:55

i would guess it is a B chord on the 7th fret (VII) with the root on the 6th string (low E).

b3ko, Tim, please look at the image I added to my original question, because I'm not sure that your answer is the one I need. – Carol Weshenfelder Jan 10 '18 at 16:04
