Give this page a set of musical notes and/or chords, and it'll tell you what chords and scales contain or are contained by that set (along with all the notes in those scales and chords). http://scottdavies.net/chords_and_scales/music.html

I scrolled down to see how many upper extensions they handled (lots) but noticed something odd: a minor third is always shown as a sharped second.
For example, look at a simple Cm chord. It isn’t C, Eb, G but instead is C, D#, G. I wonder why.
EDIT: Found it. There is a setting to show only sharps, only flats, or both. Still, a bit odd that it shows both sharp AND flat, rather than choosing the 'right' enharmonic note.
The great feature is that if you enter chord tones (must separate by a space or a comma!), it gives you chord names containing those notes, including other notes. Good feature.

pghboemike: That is a cool piece of work. Would you mind elaborating for the benefit of the (largely) self taught an example or two of how you (or any others on this thread) put this remarkable tool to use? I can see how advanced composers such as Mario or Matt Finley, David Snyder, or yourself might run into theoretical applications quite often beyond the scope of counting by fingers, (my method.) I have also been struck by how many Berklee grads, esp. the jazz ones, are so totally versed in chords. Briefly, how can this tool help someone like me?
first i'm in no way in the same company as Mario or Matt Finley, David Snyder or any of the other fine songwriters who are members of these forums though i do enjoy composing mostly instrumental original material using my ears guitar & tools like this

Thanks for the information, pbghmike. You're modest. I hadn't intended to single out anyone in particular, but, rather, to illustrate the point. If I were to list the exceptional talents associated with this forum, I'd still be writing. The topic has had the effect of stimulating thought on my part. Probably shouldn't go there, but, "How the heck does Band-in-a-Box work, anyway?" The video that shows how the same progressions may create different songs provides a clue, not the whole answer. I find, sometimes, renderings seem to contain the melody, with no explanation as to how that could be. It's like they have some weird Ai in a cage, somewhere.

We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
