Semitone
Reference Chart
The seven natural roots shifted up by 1–6 semitones. Each cell shows both sharp ♯ and flat ♭ spellings so you can read it in whichever notation your sheet music uses.
To shift downward, read in reverse — lowering by N semitones equals raising by 12 − N. For example, C lowered by 4 is the same as C raised by 8.
| Original | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | C♯ / D♭ | D | D♯ / E♭ | E | F | F♯ / G♭ |
| D | D♯ / E♭ | E | F | F♯ / G♭ | G | G♯ / A♭ |
| E | F | F♯ / G♭ | G | G♯ / A♭ | A | A♯ / B♭ |
| F | F♯ / G♭ | G | G♯ / A♭ | A | A♯ / B♭ | B |
| G | G♯ / A♭ | A | A♯ / B♭ | B | C | C♯ / D♭ |
| A | A♯ / B♭ | B | C | C♯ / D♭ | D | D♯ / E♭ |
| B | C | C♯ / D♭ | D | D♯ / E♭ | E | F |
To shift down by N, use the +(12−N) column — e.g. C−4 = C+8.
