To be done:
Redo layout, find and fix errors
Short text on how to work out the function of a chord
Extend list to include Rondeña chords and chords in other common alternative tunings.

Perhaps mark chords with roman numbers (IV, ii, vii, etc) when useful, for the most common scales:
Por Medio A phryg
Solea E phryg
Alegrias E Major

Simplify Chord Naming - Take into account optional notes in 9, 11, 13, M9, M11, M13 chords
(5th and preceding) (no 'add' when there is a 7) Unless the omitted notes imply an out of context tonality.
