 All chords are major unless otherwise noted: minor (–), augmented (+), diminished (o), half-diminished (ø).
 Other standard chord notations also apply: seventh (7), major seventh (Δ), suspended (sus), nine flat five (9♭5) etc.
 Traditional rhythmic notations may also be used. A diamond is placed around a chord to indicate a whole note.
 Use only the major scale with the 6 being the relative minor (in italics above) for songs sounding in a minor key.
