| This is the Help File included with PocketAxe Chorder:How to Define a Chord Start by setting the Root note of the chord. Then set each of the intervals. PocketAxe Chorder doesn't allow the same interval to be set under two different choices. (e.g. you can't set both -6 and -13). It also disallows some uncommon intervals such as a 13th without a 7th or 9th. As you build the chord its name appears in the box to the lower right of the interval choices. Fingering for the chord is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The Alt choice allows you to view alternate fingerings. Read the Display Chord interval choices are at the top of the display. The chord name appears in the box to the lower right of the interval choices. Fingering for the chord is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The largest string is at the bottom of the display. The first fret is on the left. Note names are in the column on the left. Diamonds show where to put your fingers. (Diamonds to the left of the frets indicate open strings.) Red diamonds show the root note. Blue diamonds show other notes. Small black diamonds show the possibility of using a barre chord. Read Chord Names Chord names start with the name of the root note followed by names of the intervals. The most common intervals are often omitted from the name. For example a major 3rd and perfect 5th are always omitted. A diminished 7th is usually omitted in a 9th, 11th or 13th chord. In these cases, notation is used to indicate that an expected interval is missing. For example, A5 means a perfect 5th without a 3rd. The notation add9 or add11 indicates a 9th or 11th without a 7th. This table shows notation for the common intervals used in chords:
