There was a typo in the post that has been corrected. It now reads “If you write a song in C with an E minor in it, you should probably think very hard if you want to put a chord that is anything other than A minor or F major after the E m

Here are a couple pop songs from the last 10 years originally written in major that I think sound pretty neat in the minor mode. (Once on the song page, need to click the "Key" button to put into a new mode) ”Someone Like You” by

Any plans to support equation numbering (like MathJax) and \eqref? I didn't see this in any of the examples or docs.

It is amazing to see how far HTML and JS have come. What are using for the audio engine when in "synthetic" sound mode? Do you render a custom performance on the fly from pitch samples, or play from a pre-computed mp3/wav? I

Thanks! All analyses on Hooktheory are in done in sections. Analyses load one section at a time. Since songs (well, most songs) repeat the same harmony in each verse / chorus / ... it made sense for use to use the section approach. One

Thanks. The mirrors were throw up quickly to handle the load and; that link that led you to the analysis area was overlooked.

Double ditto to all of these points. Also, it might be nice as a feed rather than one static quote with left/right buttons

Regarding "chords following em": Since all of the songs were transposed to the key of C, em == iii, am == vi, and F == IV. Really what the post says is IV and vi follow iii most often in popular songs.

Hi horsehead, I don't know if you made it to the Music Editor part of the site http://www.hooktheory.com/editor but you can use the Music Editor to write songs using I V IV (type 1,5,4 on your keyboard) and such. One of the main goals of

Hi fferen, I V iv V is indeed a super popular progression. You can see an example of it here: http://www.hooktheory.com/analysis/view/james-blunt/youre-be... . One cool thing about the way we store music (using relative notation) is that

Yeah, I'm on the Hooktheory team that wrote the article. I love your idea! We're 100% set up to do that kind of thing. It would certainly make an interesting, fun, social set of posts. Today was our first exposure to the world and the f

Hi planetguy, that is an excellent suggestion, and something we've actually already started working on. One of the things about the database our community is building is that it can be used for so many interesting studies. BTW, the Rihann

That is a fair critique of the article. The vast majority of the songs that came into the analysis were in fact billboard top 100 so that naturally filters out songs with chords that might sound bad (chords that as a rule are not built off
