Questions people ask
- How does it name a chord?
- From the notes you choose, by the tonal library's chord detection, most likely name first, with other names it could have.
- Does the order of the notes matter?
- The lowest note can change the name (an inversion is named with a slash); otherwise the same notes give the same chord.
- How do I let a note go?
- Press it again, or press Clear to let every note go and start a new chord.
