Secondary dominants in passages of temporary change of the tonic #35

Closed adriannagel closed 3 years ago

In the standard there is the difference between a complete modulation (V.ii7 or ii.V7) and a temporary change of the tonic (V/ii ii). In my opinion, that is a very good differentiation. However in some passages of temporary changes sometimes there are secondary dominants which can not be annotated in a right way.

Here is a example from Mendelssohn String Quartet op 12 No 1 E flat major:

Here the viio7/VII and V65/VII is not really related to VII. I like to suggest for this cases an annotation in this way: viio7/V/iii V65/V/iii

Yes, absolutely! The latest published version (v2.1.0) already allows for this. That is a good example to include in the FAQ, thanks!
