Degree modifications

You can add/remove degrees, or change the alteration of degrees from the “normal” quality of the chord you chose. You can also add a suspended (like sus2 or sus4) in the chord.

Adding a degree

Just type the number and the alteration of the degree you want to add, separated by commas.

Example: 9,#13

Changing a degree alteration

Just type the number of the degree you want to change, with the alteration: # or b.

Example: b9#11

Removing a degree

Type no or omit, then the number of the degree you want to remove.

Example: no3, or omit9

Suspended 2nd or 4th

Type sus4, sus2 or sus24.

Suspended 2nd means that we remove the 3rd degree, and replace it with a 2nd degree.

Bass inversion

When you have a bass inversion, you can write the pitch name of the bass.
