Shorthand Chord

Aliases

SHORTHAND_CHORD, SHORTCHORD, SC

Overview

The Shorthand Chord function takes letters as input and turns them into chords.

Note

Not to be confused with the Letters function.

This function is functionally identical to using . followed by a character.

This function is quite handy if you need to write shorter Unilang code.

Arguments

Name Type Description
ChordLetters string The shorthand chord letters.

List of Chords

Here is a list of what letters map to each chord. The rule is that the top note will change first.

One note Two note chords Three note chords Four note chords Five note chords
0 -> [0] a -> [12] k -> [123] u -> [1234] z -> [12345]
1 -> [1] b -> [13] l -> [124] v -> [1235]
2 -> [2] c -> [14] m -> [125] w -> [1245]
3 -> [3] d -> [15] n -> [134] x -> [1345]
4 -> [4] e -> [23] o -> [135] y -> [2345]
5 -> [5] f -> [24] p -> [145]
6 -> [6] g -> [25] q -> [234]
7 -> [7] h -> [34] r -> [235]
8 -> [8] i -> [35] s -> [245]
9 -> [9] j -> [45] t -> [345]

Example 1

SC(abcd)

Places the shorthand chords corresponding to the letters a, b, c, d, being [12], [13], [14], [15].

Shorthand Chord Example 1

Using Period . Characters

You can write . followed by one of the chord letters above to achieve the same as SHORTHAND_CHORD() with one letter input.

Example 2

.a.e.h.j

Places the shorthand chords corresponding to the letters a, e, h, j, being [12], [23], [34], [45].

Shorthand Chord Example 2
Tip

Any chord is shorter to write using . notation. However, using it does come at the cost of readability.

Tip

If you have more than 4 short hand chords, SC(input) notation becomes shorter than using . notation.
