“3 songs (0.018%) contain i → iv”, claims Hooktheory’s search by chords function.
Only “0.1%” of songs use the minor chord “i”, according to Hooktheory.
In a world where the minor scale is becoming more and more popular, it is utterly confusing that it breaks Hooktheory’s search by chord function.
And the wording of the search by chords function implies that virtually no one writes in minor. 0.1% of songs use the tonic chord in minor? Give me a break.
Just try to search for any common progression in a minor scale- the search by chord function will inevitably break. As I only write or play songs in minor keys/modes, this bias towards the major scale is completely depressing. What an awful, terrible oversight.
