Talk:Common chord (music)

Headings & definition
The current heading and content: So a common chord is a chord constructed from a chord. A three note chord is a chord constructed from a three note chord. These circular definitions don't make it "simple" or "basic" to anyone who is new to the subject or provide any information to anyone who isn't. I assume this section is trying to say common in the sense of "frequently occurring" or "simple". Hyacinth (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

A basic three-note chord
A common chord in standard older usage is a simple chord constructed out of the notes of a triad; or alternatively a triad that is major or minor, but not diminished or augmented. See: common practice period.

Table is confusing
What the heck is the number in the third column? For that matter what is going on in the second column? This needs to be clearer 82.43.222.150 (talk) 10:44, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
