  • Keep Lines - Removes all notes from a chord, except the top and bottom note.
  • Keep Specific Line - Removes all notes from a chord, except the top/bottom note.
  • Rotate - Rotates the chord up or down (by moving the top/bottom note in the chord down/up). Only affects chords less than an octave.
