>
> @cleary I came to a similar solution, maybe a bit more "intuitive": -- degree IV of the D major scale: d1 $ n (scale "major" ("[-1,1,3]" + "4") + "d5") # s "superpiano" -- simple progression (I IV V ii) in D major: d1 $ slow 2 $ n (scale "major" ("[-1,1,3]" + "1 4 5 2") + "d5") # s "superpiano" -- same as: d1 $ slow 2 $ n "d5'maj'3 g5'maj'3 a5'maj'3 e5'min'3" # s "superpiano" -- simple progression (I III v VII) in E minor: d1 $ slow 2 $ n (scale "minor" ("[-1,1,3]" + "1 3 5 7") + "e5") # s "…
