> First, [**enter the chord edit overlay**](/songwriting/edit-a-chord/add-optional-tones-to-a-certain-chord.md)**.**

### ▶️ Change quality

Use the arrow or tap on the quality name in the **second column**.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-M3zMlljv4VK-94Ye4hB" alt=""></div>

You can change between: Major, Minor, Sus, Power 5 (Powerchord), Dim(inished) and Aug(mented).

👉 **When tapping** on the quality name, you can select a specific quality.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**The dot** in front of the quality name indicates whether this quality is **within the key**, related to the selected root note.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-M3zO6p1YVEDiAyInBs7" alt=""></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
The quality **relates to the root** of the chord, **not to the optional tones**.\
\
Example: `F major 7` is an F major chord with a dominant seventh (b7). NOT with a "major" 7.
{% endhint %}
