harmonic theory VII
accord notation
Popular is the following,
The first thrid within the accord tells if its a minor or a major accord. Is nothing told a major third is expected. (major means great-third C-E, minor means small.third C-Eb).
The fifth is obligate and does not need to be noticed if its not clean (clean means 7-half-steps).
The seventh means the small seventh (C-Bb). If the big seventh is used like in C maj7 the "7" needs the attribut "maj" to show that the big seventh is used (C-B instead of C-Bb).
Same ges for intervals above the octace. the nine menas the big nine a whole ton above base tone. (C-D). Aberant use of the small nine will be notated as "b9". The eleventh by default means the clean 11 (C-F) and the 6th allso the big by default (C-A). Aberant uses will notate like "#11", "b11" or "b6".
The following notation is popular:
The higest notated intervall includes all lower thrids.
On major 7 accords ( dominant-seven ) and includet clean quart will be outmitted.
Sus-accords stands for suspendet. Instead of the first third a suspendet tone will be used.
On add-accords (add for addition) will the interval be addet to the accord.
Examples:
Cmaj9 contains of C-E-G-B-D,
B-7/b5 contains of B-D-F-A,
C13 contains of C-E-G-Bb-D-A (F outmitted),
C7 sus4 of C-F-G-Bb,
D- add9 of D-F-A-E.

The following notation is popular:

| 1 | b9 | 9 | #9/b3 | 3 | 4 | #4/b5 | 5 | b6/#5 | 6 | 7 | #7(maj7) |
