'''Adjacency''' - Notes within a suitable voice leading distance from either the Dominant or Serviant tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic- this process even extends to the relationship between the Dominant and Serviant themselves. On the other hand, notes within this same kind of distance from the Tonic often tend to have their functions colored more by their relationships to both the Dominant and Serviant. This process is one of two that create what in traditional music theory are referred to as "''parallels''" and "''counter parallels''", however, unlike Parallelism proper, this process can establish these kinds of relationships outside the primary tetrachord. | '''Adjacency''' - Notes within a suitable voice leading distance from either the Dominant or Serviant tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic- this process even extends to the relationship between the Dominant and Serviant themselves.

Non-tonic notes related through this process tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic. For the notes related to the Tonic by this process see Antitonic below. | ||
'''Preparation''' - These are notes that "prepare the way" for either a Dominant or a Serviant through any of the above operations, or through some other mechanism. Functions which have this kind of role relative are denoted with a "pre-" prefix here. | '''Preparation''' - These are notes that "prepare the way" for either a Dominant or a Serviant through any of the above operations, or through some other mechanism.
