Chord Conversion Table

The applicable chord conversion table depends on the particular combination of elements and parts. The symbol ￿ in the table below indicates that a chord table is applicable, while ￿ indicates that a chord table is not applicable.

The explanations in the “Description” column all assume the following conditions for the recorded accompaniment pattern.

Root: CMajor chords, unless specified otherwise.

The explanations in the “Description” column describe how the recorded accompaniment (12 notes from C to B) are modified when an accompaniment chord is specified.

The shaded rows are the default numbers for each element and part.
