•Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

•A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth

which can be used with both major and minor chords.

•Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment

based only on the root.

•The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be

used - with the following exceptions:

m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5.

•Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown

in parentheses are omitted.

•The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are

played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

•Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

•The split point for the auto accompaniment function is the same as that for the

split voices. (See page 44.)
