The chromatic number-line 2. Interval number-formula 3. Scale number-formula 4. Chord number-formula The Group One components are covered on 3 pages broadly titled “Chromatic Numbers pages 1, 2, and 3”. Those three pages provide any needed background and explanations for the Cipher System’s Number Formula Translation Tables of intervals, scales, and chords. Group Two components – Fretboard components Components 5 - 7 Parts that relate to string instrument fretboards — their innate pattern structures, and the method/device used to transfer the Cipher System’s chromatic number-formula to them: 5. String numbering order 6. The Five Degree Calculation Line for Guitar, Bass, Ukulele      The Seven Degree Calculation Line for Mandolin and Banjo 7. The Pattern of Unisons and Octaves for Guitar      The Pattern of Unisons and Octaves for Mandolin and Banjo Note: Additional advanced components of the Cipher System are available in the More Cipher Components section in the top main menu. Included there are the Descending Five Degree Calculation Line, the Master Charts, and a universal Speller-Transposer. The Master Charts and Speller-Transposer are the Cipher System’s comprehensive translation tables. They are necessary to complete the Cipher System but too detailed to discus here.
