* '''?''' - Indicates that the analysis is questionable due to there being more notes in one chord than the other. We assume that the chord with less notes uses two voices on the same note. For example, if the first chord has less notes than the destination chord, we could say that we get contrary motion from the bass note ascending a M2 '''and''' descending a P4 to form a small power chord as the two bass notes of the next chord.* '''*''' - Indicates that proper voice leading is '''not''' being followed for the interval in question. This is almost always due to movement to parallel 4ths using similar or parallel motion. We could avoid these bad examples by removing (a) note(s) from one or both chords; however, they are usually too subtle to notice. Where we do allow some undesirable voice leading, we make it as subtle as possible. We avoid it on the top two or bottom two voices. We avoid parallel 5ths and octaves, although we allow parallel 4ths. We prefer similar motion over parallel in many situations.
* A few cases have similar motion of two low notes to the same bass notes. This forms a P1 interval, which should not be led by similar motion; however, the alternative is to use inverted chords, which we are avoiding for clarity at this time.
* The chord shapes contain numbers indicating the scale degrees of the notes that comprise the chord. Notice all the tonic chords use (1, 3, 5), the ii chord uses (2, 4, 6), etc.
