Tip

  • When using a MIDI keyboard, you can also input polychord symbols by playing the first chord and keeping the keys depressed, then playing the second chord.

  • When using a MIDI keyboard, you can also indicate altered bass notes in any of the following ways:

    • Play all notes of the chord together with the altered bass note at the bottom.

    • Play the chord and its altered bass note separately: Hold down the keys for the chord, then play the altered bass note while keeping the rest of the keys of the chord depressed.
