I should point out that all of the scale degree functions described in Viennese Theory, as well as a few additional functions listed on this page, can be classified as '''first derivative''' functions because only one instance of any given derivational process is needed to reach them.  Do note that of all the original Viennese functions, only the Mediant remains virtually unchanged from the original theories to this reconstruction, as another has been renamed, while four others have been grouped together under new functions.

'''Supervicinant''' - This is any note that maps to 1\7 above the Tonic, and in fact, intervals in this vicinity have both Tonic Adjacent and Serviant Parallel functions, beyond that, however, the precise behavior of notes in this range is determined by both mappings and concrete tuning ranges, see the Supervicinant and Subvicinant Subtypes section for more discussion of this function.
