Previewing Chords

Previous  Top  Next


When chord previewing is enabled, clicking a chord will preview it using your chord preview settings. The chord will ring as long as you hold the mouse button down. Note that chords cannot be dragged or edited by double clicking when chord previewing is active.

When a chord voicing is previewed, a chord voicing and a bass note are played. The presence of the bass note helps to give the correct tonal reference as many chord voicings do not put the chord root down low (and some voicings do not even contain the chord root). If you do not want to hear the bass note when previewing chords hold down the Ctrl when clicking to preview.

To change the chord and bass sounds used for previewing chords, see Settings - Chord Preview Settings.

Tip: To toggle chord previewing on and off, click on a chord while holding down the Alt key.
