Very Useful, Needs a Couple Important Changes – Suggester : Chords and Scales Review

I’ve always loved using this app. I’m a student composer and it’s very valuable hearing different voicings of chords in quick succession and brainstorming new material when I can’t be around a piano or guitar. The issue is that the “Borrow” function for utilizing modal mixture only works for the parallel modes of any given scale, and as a composer, it’s frustrating not being able to write a key change or even utilize relative modes of my home scale without having to open a new document. It’s a lot less common for songwriters to borrow from scales in a parallel mode because that fundamentally suggests tonicization of a different key signature (e.g. Borrowing B Lydian chords in a piece with a scale of B Natural Minor would suggest relativity to F# Major rather than a direct relation to B minor.) It’s useful for finding interesting flavors, so I would like for it to remain there, but it would be so convenient to (1) Be able to access F# Phrygian chords when I’m in the parent key of D Major (2) Allow key changes mid document, which would probably alleviate the first problem as well in one swing. I’ve paid for the full version three different times and it is always worth it, just adding this fundamental compositional tool would be very useful, particularly for providing helpful compositional cues to novice songwriters. Looking forward to any further update! ?
