Each reference gives a full seven-note spelling, the semitone steps and the relationship to its relative key. Locate the small steps before increasing playback speed; the same pattern can feel quite different under your fingers in another key.

One useful written reference per pitch class

The catalogue selects conventional written keys and explains relevant enharmonic alternatives. It does not turn every spelling, octave or direction into a separate page. The explorer preserves the spelling you choose.
