Dictionary of Intervals and Chords with Associated Modes

Herein is a selection of the most common intervals and chords along with the "reasonable" septatonic modes that contain them, with the first note of the chord (not the root) being the same as the tonic note of the mode. For smaller chords, I've included their unique inversions.
