Drop 2, Drop 3 and Drop 2-4

The seventh-chord voicing families and how to switch between them.

For seventh chords Fretly draws the standard voicing families:

  • Closed — all four tones packed within an octave.
  • Drop 2 — the second-from-top voice dropped an octave.
  • Drop 3 — the third-from-top voice dropped an octave.
  • Drop 2-4 — both the second and fourth voices dropped.

Switch families from the voicing selector; the shape redraws in place.
