Isn’t the salient property of an inversion simply which note is lowest
in pitch?
I think the point of inversions is not to rearrange pitches inside a
chord, but to change the limits of the chord by changing *both* the
highest and the lowest note. (I’m siding with Lukas’s #1 definition.)
Which could also be said of so-called `voicings’, in a way: the point of
\dropNote 2 <c' e' g' b' d'' fis''>
would hardly be to get
<c' d' e' g' b' fis''>
in return, but rather
<d c' e' g' b' fis''>
much like a suspended chord (the whole point of `drop n’ transformations
being to change the bass note).
Hence my latest proposal, that does exactly that (and therefore comes
back to the UP/DOWN direction arg that David wanted to do away with).
Cheers,
V.
