How do you notate inverted triads?
Like intervals, triads can be inverted by moving the lowest note up an octave. The lowest note, called the bass note, determines the name of the inversion. When the lowest note is the root of the chord, the triad is in root position. Next, let's invert the chord.
How do you notate inverted chords?
Popular-music notation
A notation for chord inversion often used in popular music is to write the name of a chord followed by a forward slash and then the name of the bass note. This is called a slash chord. For example, a C-major chord in first inversion (i.e., with E in the bass) would be notated as "C/E".
What is the chord symbol for the inverted triad?
1 "Slash" Chords. In lead-sheet notation, an inverted chord has the triad before the slash (/) and the bass note after it. “ C E ” means a C triad with an E as the lowest note.
What is inverted notation?
To invert a chord or an interval is to rearrange its notes so that the original bottom note becomes an upper note; for example, An interval (such as c′–f′) and its inversion (f′–c″) are complementary: together they form an octave. A three-note chord (triad) can be inverted twice from its original, or root, position.
