The Cipher System’s user-friendliness results from extricating music theory from the staff and standard notation. The Master Charts further that operation. The Master Charts are the Cipher System’s comprehensive number-formula translation tables. This web site contains both a concise set of translation tables for intervals, scales, and chords — more than enough to get you started — plus two of the eight total Master Charts found in the book. The two plate chart included here is one of two summary charts in the book.
The Master Charts are a catalogue of number formula, both standard and Cipher. They contain chromatic number translations of all basic harmony-in-thirds (chord formula) taken directly from the staff, plus all indigenous modes (scales) of all degrees of the four primary scales. Charts are included for the Major and three Minor scales (Natural, Harmonic, and Melodic), using both standard and chromatic (Cipher) numbers. The Master Charts reveal all of the stock harmonies and formula natural to all scale degrees of those scales
From every scale degree of each of the four scales covered, you’ll find formula numbers corresponding to (and up through) the seven-tone thirteenth chord that stacks naturally above those degrees. Each thirteenth chord contains within it all other smaller chords natural to the given degree. That is, each thirteenth chord (also) contains the triad, seventh, ninth, and eleventh chord, natural to the degree. So the Master Charts are indeed exhaustive — as far as the stock, unaltered, natural materials of Western music theory go.
