ABSTRACT
Use the leading tone triad in the major mode as your point of reference. Diminished triads typically behave like dominant seventh chords that are missing their root. As a result, the resolution
of the chord tones is: Scale degree 7 (↑7 in minor) moves up to scale degree 1. Scale degree 2 moves down by step to scale degree 1 or up by step to scale degree 3. (This is the only tone in this chord
that can be doubled. If more than one scale degree 2 is used, one will move up by step and the other will move down by step.)
Scale degree 4 moves down by step to scale degree 3.
