Master Chart Summary Table One The Cipher
The Cipher Systems 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 Systems
comprehensive
number-formula translation tables. There the eight total Mas-
ter Charts in the book. The following two-plate chart is one of two
summary
charts.
The Master Charts are a catalogue of number formula, both standard and Cipher. They
contain diatonic to chromatic number translations of all basic
harmony-in-thirds
(chord for-
mula) 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 variations of Minor scales (Natu-
ral, Harmonic, and Melodic), using both standard (diatonic) and chromatic (Cipher) num-
bers. 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, youll nd formula numbers
corresponding to (and up through) the seven-tone thirteenth chord that stacks naturally (in
thirds) 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 (tercian) Western music theory go.
The Master Charts are a literal
Rosetta Stone
, an alpha-numeric translation of ancient
musical formula rendered in two languages side by side, one of which nearly everyone on
earth can understand, counting numbers. It might sound silly, but if some cataclysmic event
ever befalls the earth (and it will someday), leaving only a small global population and few if
any people who can read music, the kernel of Western musical heritage might survive at least.
But wed still have to write it in
stone
somewhere, and have a copy off world to be safe. ;)

16 Blumbergs Music Theory Cipher www.TheCipher.com
Universal Speller-Transposer The Cipher
The Ciphers Universal Speller-Transposer is meant to help you do two separate things,
spell and transpose:
Take any number formula (standard or Cipher) for any interval, scale, or chord, and you'll
be able to nd the correct letter-spelling for it in any key (i.e. from any tonic or root).
or you can transpose (change) the letter spelling of any musical material from one key,
tonic, or root, to another.
The Speller-Transposer works even if you ignore the chromatic numbers, (the Cipher spe-
cic content) and use only standard diatonic formula numbers.
At rst glance the Speller-Transposer might make your head spin a bit. Its not a pretty
sight as they say. But I didnt create that spelling system. Thats how it is. Hopefully though,
youll get a feel for it after a few minutes of explanation. Youll probably only need it on occa-
sion. [Note; the book contains explanatory text and illustrations.]
