In the 3-2-1 voicing, the 2nd lowest note is 3 tetratonic steps above the lowest note, the 3rd lowest note is 2 steps above the 2nd, and the 4th is 1 step above the 3rd. | |||
The stepwise terminology has the advantage that it directly indicates the stepspan, and hence the "openness" of the voicing. Furthermore, a generalized voicing has only one stepwise name, but possibly more than one "drop" name. Drop-2 could possibly be called lift-3, and drop-2-4 could possibly be called lift-1-3. | The stepwise terminology has the advantage that it directly indicates the stepspan, and hence the "openness" of the voicing.
