Hi - completely new to the tool, sorry if this is answered elsewhere.
My question is about the notes played by Hookpad's default "Harmony" track (i.e. the notes you see on the right half of the piano when you open the "Chord Chart". For some chords (e.g. CMaj I, iv) the voicing is straightforward, with the chord in normal form with the root doubled an octave below. For others though, the chord is 1st or 2d inversion, and the doubled root is sometimes two octaves down, etc. Once you add sevenths things get more unpredictable.
My question is, are there specific theory reasons for why the chords show up as they do? Or is the tool basically making arbitrary decisions about voicing in order to keep the notes in a roughly constant range?
