Isn't it common practice that if you write down the key simply as "Bb", it means Bb major by default? If you mean minor, you write it "Bbm" or "Bbmin", right?

You might want to check out David Baker's books on ii-v-i for extensive library of vocabulary on this,

There are also 1-6-2-5's, and 2-5-1-3/6's, so be sure to practice them as well.

Do you have a tune example for 2 5 1 3/6?
