| Notes to self for a possible future translation: I got the Ruby chords from ultimate guitar and translated them to 41edo. I didn't study the song, barely listened to it. So this is not an in-depth translation, just a rough draft of sorts. Just looked at the lattice and avoided pitch shifts on common tones. It went well. I stuck to 5-limit, except for the dom7 and dim7 chords. No glaring weirdnesses.
| |
|
| |
| I didn't analyze the melody. If the melody plays a sustained 9th above a v6 chord, I would probably drop the 5th from the chord and tune the 9th as a v9.
| |
|
| |
| The ^Ab^d7 chord after the 1st line of the verse makes an uneven root movement. Maybe better as vAb^d7. I was trying to keep the 7th of the previous chord the same as the 6th of this chord. But maybe not worth doing, since the pitch shift would be 2\41 not 1\41.
| |
|
| |
| 2nd line, Dbd7 followed by Bbd7 is weird because they're the same chord in 12edo! They're different chords in 41. So unless you just hold the same chord, you have pitch shifts. I would have to know the song better to do a good translation there.
| |
| The ^d7(~5) chords may be too dissonant and may need to be regular ^d7 chords. The ~5 avoids a pitch shift of 2\41, which may be fine, since it's not 1\41.
| |
|
| |
| In the outro, after the first line we have IVM7 followed by Vm7, a meantone pitch shift. One shift in the whole song, not bad. Easily hideable by voicing the root of the IV chord low and the 7th of the V chord high, as one would normally do anyway.
| |
|
| |
| Since writing this, I'm told these are not the correct chords for the tune, oh well...
