Headings & definition[edit]

The current heading and content:

A basic three-note chord
- A common chord in standard older usage is a simple chord constructed out of the notes of a triad...

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)[reply]

A basic three-note chord[edit]

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 ^{[citation needed]}. See: common practice period.

I removed the above as uncited. Hyacinth (talk) 18:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Table is confusing[edit]

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)[reply]
