I’m really enjoying Scaler and finding it quite useful as a creative tool. One feature that I would like to see is “suggest chords that support chord melody composition and reharmonization” by showing chords/inversions where a given note within a scale is the highest (melody) or lowest (bass) note of the suggested chord.
For example, if I’m in the key of F major, and I choose the note A from the scale (the third), Scaler could suggest (among many others):
- Triads: F (second inversion), Dmin, Gsus2 (second inversion), and so on
- 7ths: G7, Fmaj7 (third inversion), and so on
- …and so on
- …not to mention the various reharmonizations where that A is a tension of a chord outside the key/scale.
This request is similar to an older one from a couple years ago.

How funny is this: Earlier today I came across the need for that feature again, and as it’s been a few years since my original request (and I appreciate that the team must get a a ton of requests) I decided to see if I could give a little nudge for it again … so I have literally just put together a nice little demonstration and I came here to post it. Then I noticed I had an unread notification in my inbox. I check it out and discovered @marcja’s post referencing my original request!
So, the screen recording I put together is kind of useless I guess, but I’ve shared it above anyway, so that anyone else reading this thread can see an example of exactly how & where it would be useful.
Thanks @marcja for bringing it up again, and thanks @davide for confirming it’s a priority. It’s going to be a killer feature!
