Chords

Chords are built on notes, and can be instantiated from a string (e.g. c = Chord(‘Em7’) ) or from a list of notes strings (e.g. c = Chord([‘C’,’E’,’G’]) ) or Notes

Basic attributes

	code	output
Chord notes	Chord(‘Cdim’).notes	[C, E♭, G♭]

Chord intervals	Chord(‘Cdim’).intStr	[‘1’, ‘♭3’, ‘♭5’]
Chord quality	Chord(‘Cdim’).quality	‘dim’

Basic members

	code	output
Guide Tones (3rd,7th)	Chord(‘Cm7’).guideTones()	[E♭, B♭]
Relative minor chord	Chord(‘C’).relativeMinor()	Chord(‘Am’) or ‘Am’ if asStr=True
Relative major chord	Chord(‘Cm’).relativeMajor()	Chord(‘D♯M’) or ‘D♯M’ if asStr=True
Plot a chord	Chord(‘Cm’).plot()
Chord comparison	Chord(‘Cm7’) == Chord(‘EbM6’)	True as they have the same notes
