Assertion
In Harte and colleagues' syntax, the root note is written first, followed by a colon, a parenthesized list of chord degrees, and an optional bass note after a slash.
Quote
The root note is written first followed by a colon (:) separator. A comma delimited list of the chord degrees is then written, contained by parentheses. Finally, an optional bass note may be added at the end after a forward slash character (/) if it is different to the root.
