Chord

Aliases

CHORD, CH, 🎶

Overview

The Chord function will create a chord. Functionally, this works the exact same as encompassing something with square brackets [].

For a shorter way to write 5 fret chords, see the Shorthand Chord function.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
Pattern	string	The pattern to create a chord from.

Example 1

CHORD(345)321

Will create a chord with the notes 3, 4, 5, followed by singular notes of 3, 2, 1

Square Brackets

The Chord function is the internal Unilang function for notes wrapped in square brackets [].

Example 2

[1234]135[2345]432[12]

An example showing usage of square brackets for chords instead of CHORD.

Functions Within Chords

As the Chord function is a function, other functions can be put inside of chords.

Example 3

[SW(1,5)]54321

Example showing function behaviour within chords. Namely the Sweep function from 1 to 5 within a chord.

Note Values Above 5

As with notes, chords also allow note values above 5.

Example 4

[1234567][345]

Example showing chords allowing values above 5.

Tip

In SideyBot, note values are capped at 50. To write a note with higher values than 9, use a-z or '10' numbers in single quotes '. See more at Note

Note Properties

Chords can have note properties, just like normal notes. See Set Note Properties for more information.

Example 5

[12345]{16}

Setting note properties after a chord will set the properties of the entire chord.

Example 6

[123{16}45]

Setting note properties within a chord will set the properties of the accompanying fret.

Note

If a fret inside already has note properties, the external note properties will not override that fret.

Example 7

[123{16}45]{8}

Setting different note properties internally and externally.

Open Notes

Chords can have open notes as a fret, just like in Clone Hero.

Example 8

[024]12345

An example showing a chord with, Open, Red, Blue frets.

HOPO and Tap Chords

HOPO and Tap rules apply to chords just like they do in Clone Hero.

Example 9

[12][23][34][45]TAP([12][23][34][45])HOPO([12][23][34][45])

An example showing different types of chords.
