Wol et al:
Let's take the notes C, Eb, F, Ab. Which chord is that? What's the
root?
You can easily go from the name to the notes, but not the other way
round.
We *could* parse it from the first note, i.e. in relative mode
<F C Eb Ab>
and
<Ab C, Eb F>
would display as the same chord (close harmony), but generate two
different chord names (e.g., Fmin7 and Ab6, respectively) based on
the first-chord-pitch-is-"root" system.
Not sure if it's enforceable, but it's one way of getting the cake
and eating it too. =)
Cheers,
Kieren.
