Harmony Settings

When you select in a chord in the Harmony parameter, you are actually editing a Harmonic Context that includes a lot more information than just a chord.

Chord: Pick a Chord from the menu or type its name right into the input field. You can type multiple chord names separated by spaces. There are many ways you can write a chord. Learn about the syntax here.
Extension: Pick a chord extension from the menu.
Bass: Transpose the bass note up or down. Hold down ⌥ Alt for chromatic increments. Hold down ⌘ Ctrl to reset to automatic bass selection. The bass need not necessarily be included with the chord.
Function Expression: Check this if you want to enter harmonic function expressions instead of chord names (Pro only).
Vertical Scale: Pick a Vertical Scale from the menu to use for building melodies over the chord.
Horizontal Scale: Pick a Horizontal Scale from the menu.
Relation: Pick a Relation key from the menu. Local key signature that would best match the horizontal scale (determines color).
Key: Pick a global Key from the menu.
Estimate: Estimates keys, scales and relations for the selected chords, assuming a common underlying key. Remember that different spans in a progression can have different keys (key changes). Hence you can select and estimate multiple spans independently. Alternatively call Transform > Estimate Keys, Relations and Scales from the main menu.; The result depends on your current Scale Selection Preferences.
Bass Menu: Pick a desired interval for bass. This is an alternative to setting the bass directly.
Inversion Menu: Pick a desired chord inversion to use for Auto-Chords interpretation and the rendering of green Chord Symbols.; This may not have an effect in case Interpretation decides to follow the setting of individual Figure segments instead.
: Open Voicing: Enable this for open chord voicing. This only affects Auto-Chords interpretation and the rendering of green Chord Symbols.; This may not have an effect in case Interpretation decides to follow the setting of individual Figure segments instead.
: Minor Seconds: Enable if you are fine with minor seconds to occur in chord voicing.; This may not have an effect in case Interpretation decides to follow the setting of individual Figure segments instead.
: Alignment: Align the chord with the previous one. A very basic voice leading algorithm that smoothes out pitch leaps. In a long progression, you should disable this occasionally, as a sort of line break.; This may not have an effect in case Interpretation decides to follow the setting of individual Figure segments instead.
Override Harmony: Always use the Preview parameter, even if Harmony is available.
