In [[music theory]], '''Nashville notation''' (sometimes the '''Nashville number system''') is the practice of assigning numbers to the notes in a key to alleviate the tedious task of [[transposition]]. In any given key, there are seven notes that reside within the key. These notes are accordingly labelled one through seven, with [[Roman numerals]]. The namesake note of the key is labelled one, and the last, diminished note before the octave is labelled seven with a ° symbol to denote its diminished nature. Minor notes are labelled in lowercase Roman numerals.

In [[music theory]], '''Nashville notation''' (sometimes the '''Nashville number system''') is the practice of assigning numbers to the notes in a key to alleviate the tedious task of [[transposition]]. In any given key, there are seven notes that reside within the key. These notes are accordingly labeled one through seven, with [[Roman numeral]]s. The namesake note of the key is labeled one, and the last, diminished note before the octave is labeled seven with a ° symbol to denote its diminished nature. Minor notes are labeled in lowercase Roman numerals. Complex chords may be labeled as #/#, such as V/VII.

*B = VII°

*B = VII°

Alternatively, the system may also be used without Roman numerals, and [[Arabic numerals]] substituted in instead. Minor chords get a dash (-) after their number to denote a minor nature. For example, in the key of C, 1-7 look like this:

 

 

Alternatively, the system may also be used without Roman numerals, and [[Arabic numerals]] substituted in instead. Minor chords get a dash (-) after their number to denote a minor nature. Complex chords will be labeled #/# still, such as 5/7. For example, in the key of C, 1-7 look like this:

*C = 1

*C = 1

*Dm = 2-

*Dm = 2-

*Am = 6-

*Am = 6-

*B = 7°

*B = 7°

Now, in the key of G, the four chords used would be D (V), Am (ii), C (IV), and G (I). In the key of C, the four chords would be G (V), Dm (ii), F (IV), and C (I).
