| definition | non-chord tone |
|---|
| a NCT that is approached by step and resolved by skip in the opposite direction | |
| a NCT that anticipates a tone that belongs to the next chord. | |
| a stationary pitch that begins as a chord tone, becomes an NCT as the harmonies change and finally ends up as a chord tone again | |
| a NCT that delays a stepwise descent in a line. It involves three parts: preparation, suspension and resolution. It is measured according to the intervals above the bass and labell | |
| used to fill the space between two other tones. Approached by step, left by step in the same direction | |
| a NCT that is approached by leap and resolved by step in the opposite direction | |
| functions like a suspension but resolves up by step instead of down | |
| embellishes a tone by moving stepwise away from and then back to a particular tone. Approached by step and left by step in the opposite direction | |
