After Scaler detected a chord, I would like to be able to see other chords containing the same notes (reverse lookup) and change the chord if necessary.

It looks like Scaler is easily confused with non-diatonic and inverted chords, maybe because it tries to guess at the chord and the scale at the same time. For example, a simple C7 in inversion becomes an E dim #5, a Bb sus2(b5), or even a Bb 6(sus2 b5), and there seems to be no easy way to fix this (without changing the voicing).

Ideally, there would be an option in the context menu of a chord offering alternative interpretations of its constituent notes.

Great feedback thank you. That’s a good solution to an ongoing problem we have. Not sure about implementation. Let me speak with the team and the possibilities
