#Rules

1. Stay on topic. All posts must relate to music theory.

2. Civility. Disagreements and discussion are great, but hostility, insults, and so on aren't. Any critiques should be focused on ideas, never on individual users.

3. No homework help on specific assignments. It is against the Academic Honesty Policy of most schools and courses. Our subscribers generally dislike this kind of behavior. Please ask your IRL teacher/tutor for homework help instead. It's important that we get such posts taken down ASAP, so in addition to reporting, please report such posts.

4. Don't make this place annoying. Memes and so forth are fine, but mods reserve the right to remove inappropriate or overposted material.

5. Promotion. Promotion of one's content is allowed, provided it is not excessive or mindless. If you regularly post your content but do not otherwise interact with the community, you will be banned. If you link to something that costs money, you must say so in your post.

Hey.

Since /music appears to be mostly for sharing music, i thought i'd crosspost my chart here. Please, point out any mistakes in it.

Again, apologies if you've already seen it over there. I clarified / added to it a bit since then (eg. major scale steps and degrees, interval inversions).

Thanks.

Edit: thank you for the upvotes! It makes me happy. Hopefully, this means there isn't any major mistakes. (I was wondering eg. about my decision to group both major and minor scale degrees on equal footing under the three harmonic function groups.)

Edit: updated url.

Hey.

Maybe you will like it.

I apologize for reposting it from another service; my account there had been limited for some time after registration, resulting, i believe, in my post not reaching people who had subscribed to its tags; and i suppose it is not wrong to want to reach some people once one has decided to post something in the first place. Anyway, sorry about that.

Thank you.

Update: marked scale chords in major and minor scale areas.

Update: extended the scale chord sequence with bullets.

Update: added marks helping play chords in chromatic order.

Finished, i think. Even if i were interested in marking prescriptive things relating to chord progressions or cadences or whatever, there would be no space.

Also sorry for the deleted posts; getting the hang of Lemmy.

All the same, added / improved a handful of things, related to modes' shapes and chords, just tuning, triad transformations, and some minor improvements.
