Recognizing 4 note chords after import

Posted

All these examples are a G major chord in different voicings and added a doubled root (SATB-chords)  
From the first 4 chords there is a note missing and from the last three are the 4 notes correct

The phrase editor reflects not the same note positions (in general, when it is played ) as in the enclosed example ( chanced by the musical AI of synfire)
Seems to be useless to import these chord voicings ?

Chord abstraction, as the name implies, creates abstract chords that are later rendered according to what best matches the pitch range of the instrument.

There is currently no way to force a particular inversion for a chord, as one never knows WHAT chord will be played anyway. The progression is always subject to change and the figures must accommodate to that.

Strange that measure 1,2,3, and 4 shows a triad and measure 5,6 a 4 note chord..it are all G major chords in different voicings.

Like for inverted triads , it can be interesting to enrich the progression with a extra note in closed triads and open triads.
So you can also choose to make a open triad from the current closed triad and the open triad can also be inverted too
Once made a open triad you can enrich the progression with a extra note (SATB : sopran/alt/tenor/bas chord)

If you're writing for multiple voices, it 's better to use distinct melodic lines rather than chord segments.
