Notation of chord
• Make sure to turn on the Light
Guide function when using the
Dictionary function.
• For a few specific chords, not all
notes may be shown in the nota-
tion section of the display. This is
due to space limitations in the
display.
• You can also show the inversion
of chord when using [+]/[–] but-
ton.
