There... I've covered the Diatonic functions... I'll get to the Paradiatonic functions later. |

'''Lead''' - This is the note typically referred to when people say "the leading-tone". This is a note that occurs at intervals between 13/7 and 27/14 away from the Tonic, which serves as a leading tone in the scale's direction of construction. In Bass-Up Tonality, this functionality has its roots in the fifteenth harmonic. Although triads built on this scale degree are regarded by some as simply incomplete Dominant Seventh chords, Aura's own analysis, while acknowledging the functional similarities between the Lead and the Dominant, sees this interval as functionally distinct from the Dominant due to the the Lead also being related to the Mediant in the same way that the Dominant is related to the Tonic- a key functionality that is often exploited in [[Wikipedia:Vi–ii–V–I|circle progression]]s. | '''Lead''' - This is the note typically referred to when people say "the leading-tone".

In addition to the Functions derived from both German theory and Viennese theory, there have been other functions described by Aura and others. | In addition to the Functions derived from both German theory and Viennese theory, there have been other functions described by Aura and others. | ||
