You can use the Circle of Fifths assistant to assign chords.

Procedure

  1. Open the Circle of Fifths assistant.

    The root key is displayed in the center, and the chords that belong to the same scale are shown above it. The numerals indicate the scale degree of the chords. These help you to create chord progressions.

  2. Optional: In the Circle of Fifths assistant, click the chord symbols to trigger the corresponding chords.
  3. To assign a chord, drag it out of the Circle of Fifths assistant, and drop it on the chord pad.
    Note

    If one of the chord pads is unassigned, you can also right-click the chord in the Circle of Fifths assistant and select Assign to First Unassigned Pad to assign the chord to the first unassigned pad.
