Chord Symbols Section

The following options affect the selected element:

Root Note

Determines the root note of the chord, for example, C for a C major chord.

Bass Note

Allows you to specify a bass note that differs from the root note. If you, for example, have a C major chord and set the bass note to D, you have specified a C over D.

Chord Type

Tensions

This is used for adding tensions to the chords. You can add as many tensions as you like to one chord.

Note

There are some special display options which you can only get by entering the exact chord symbol text. You can also add text, such as no third.

Enharmonic Shift

Activates enharmonic shifting of the chord, for example, to change a C sharp chord to D flat.
