I’m fooling around with notation software that will label chords. I input a D major chord, and it offers to also label it also as F# m/5+. F# minor but then /5+?

    The 5+ means augmented 5th, which means sharp 5th.

    F#m is F#, A, C#. F#m+ is F#, A, C## (double sharp) Which is equivalent to F#, A, D.

    Now, the slash means “what comes next is in the bass”

    So F#m/5+ is saying “F sharp minor, with an augmented 5th in the bass”

    The augmented 5th here C##, or D… Makes it

    D, F#, A. Which is a D major.
