<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Due to tempering, some chords may be notated in more than one way.

Due to tempering, some chords may be notated in more than one way. For example, the chord I<sub>(gkhj) </sub>, which corresponds to the otonal 10:13:15, is tempered to be the same as i<sub>(cfe)</sub>(the utonal 6:7:9).

'''Chord progressions'''


''<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Porting</span>''<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> is the process of translating chord progressions from one tuning system to another. Most chord progressions can be ported in some way, although it's important to note that some commas are not tempered out anymore, and there are chord progressions that close in one tuning (for example: 12-edo) that don't close in another (for example: 19-edo) (so that you will end up one semitone higher or lower than where you started). Most of the time, however, this can easily be remedied. For instance, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coltrane_changes Coltrane changes] no longer work as before because three major thirds do not make an octave. However, a variant can be constructed in which one of the major thirds is replaced with a supermajor third; this version ''does'' close.</span>
