But the biggest overlooked fact, I think, is that the melody
line notes are often ignored in defining a chord (big
mistake), not to mention the passing tones of notes leading
in or even out of chord. If the idea of a chord is the notes
or intervals heard at one time--all of those notes just before
or after count too, don't they?
