Functions

chord(key : NoteValue, mode : ChordName)

->Note

Create a new chord from the given key notes and a chord name or an array of custom intervals.

NB: Chords also can also be defined via strings in function note and via the a scale's chord function. See examples below.

Chord names also can be shortened by using the following synonyms:

• "min" | "m" | "-" -> "minor"
• "maj" | "M" | "^" -> "major"
• "minMaj" | "mM" | "-^" -> "minMajor"
• "+" | "aug" -> "augmented"
• "o" | "dim" -> "diminished"
• "5 -> "five"
• "6 -> "six"
• "69" -> "sixNine"
• "7 -> "seven"
• "9 -> "nine"
• "11" -> "eleven"

examples:

chord("c4", "minor") --> {"c4", "d#4", "f4"}
chord({key = 48, volume = 0.5}, "minor") --> {"c4 v0.5", "d#4 v0.5", "f4 v0.5"}
--same as:
chord("c4", {0, 4, 7})
chord("c4 v0.5", {0, 4, 7})
--or:
note("c4'major")
note("c4'major v0.5")
--or:
note(scale("c4", "major"):chord("i", 3))
note(scale("c4", "major"):chord("i", 3)):volume(0.5)
