Re: English Version of Functional Harmony Analysis Symbols

[Sam Bivens]

Hi Karsten,

The Riemannian system isn't as widely used among English-speaking circles as it is in German-speaking circles. Are you looking for the non-Riemannian translations for these terms (we tend to use Roman numerals), or would you prefer to keep the Riemannian approach?

Dear Friends;

as perhaps known, I try to refactor the LilyPond snippet
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=967 originally written by Klaus Blum. It is
already in a good shape, but it is still not a 'library. If you want to follow the
development steps, check out https://github.com/kreincke/harmonyli branch
development. But for the moment, you wont't see much progress. I will anounce the
first alpha release, when it is ready.

Nevertheless, I need your help. I do not know the correct translations of the
German / Italien names of the Functional Harmony Theory symbols. dict does not
really help.

Symbol | German                 | English
-----------------------------------------
T      | Tonika                 | tonic
Tp     | Tonika-Parallele       |
Tg     | Tonika-Gegenklang      |
S      | Subdominante           | subdominant
Sp     | Subdominant-Parallele  |
Sg     | Subdominant-Gegenklang |
SS     | Doppelsubdominante*    |
D      | Dominante              | dominant
Dp     | Dominant-Parallele     |
Dg     | Dominant-Gegenklang    |
DD     | Doppeldominante        |

Any proposal is welcome

many thanks for your answers
Karsten
