Editing Upper structure (section)

==Application==

Determining which additional pitches can be juxtaposed with the chord is achieved by considering the relationship between a particular chord and the scale it implies. An example follows:

#The chord C<sup>13{{music|b}}9{{music|#}}11</sup> contains the following notes, from the root upwards: C, E, G, B{{music|b}}, D{{music|b}}, F{{music|#}}, A;
#The following [[octatonic scale]] contains all of these pitches{{what|date=September 2020}}, and fits/matches up with the C<sup>13{{music|b}}9{{music|#}}11</sup> chord: C–D{{music|b}}–D{{music|#}}–E–F{{music|#}}–G–A–B{{music|b}}–C; these scale elements form a pool from which melodic and harmonic devices might be devised.
