The way I see it, the 3rd is the most important note to characterize the chord in most, if not all, cases. In other word, leaving 3rd out makes its character rather blurred, or should I say the gravity of the tonality blurred. As when you write minor second bellow the melody, it effectively destroy the character of the top note as the melody, F against E in this case effectively destroy the character of any kind of C chord, and start to produce gravity shift to F. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
