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 t…

co-founder of Hooktheory here. When this article was published (2012), it was based on the first 1300 songs in the library [ https://www.hooktheory.com/theorytab ]. At that time, t…

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" but…

If you are more into the songwriting / application side of music theory, definitely check out "Hooktheory I" http://www.hooktheory.com/music-theory-for-songwriting , which is the m…

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 sam…

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 / ...…

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 of…

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…

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…

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 po…

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 ca…

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 th…
