Hey Lokasenna.

Are chords (chords used as keys) also supposed to work with theory helper? I get strange results when I try to use a chord as a key.

I selected E sus 4 as the key. This means that only E, A, and B are valid pitches. When I set the sliders based on moving "down a second" (which I take to mean moving down to the next available note in a key). The sliders seem to go all over the place. I would expect E to move down to B, B down to A, and A down to E.

Am I thinking of this wrong?
