classification of Ger, Fr and It chords #19

Closed allorens closed 4 years ago

allorens commented 4 years ago

In its 1st version at least, the script includes the Ger, Fer and It labels in the numeral column. Without changing the annotation standard, wouldn't it be better to include a vii in that column and leave Ger, Fer and It for the form column?

We made a change in v2.0 by which Ger and Fr (but not It6), in their standard form, can be used with or without 6 and annotation of inversions is made possible. This is achieved by moving the special symbols ('shortcuts') to a separate special column while replacing them with their actual meaning, as described here in the guidelines. Within the regex, the special symbols need to remain in the numeral column because it is the only obligatory feature, so the only one that can occur on its own.

@johentsch please reopen this issue

Why aren't inversions allowed for It chords? In this example we have a 2nd inversion, and I think I've encountered one in root posititon too.

Inversions are allowed for It chords but since it is a triad, the standard form needs to be written as It6; It designates the root position viio(b3)/V.
