close position

A chord is in close harmony (also called close position or close structure) if its notes are arranged within a narrow range, usually with no more than an octave between the top and bottom notes.

If a chord is played with all its tones as close together as they can be, then it's in "close position." If the notes are spread out then it's in "open position." An open position chord has some "air" between one or more of its tones.

Closed Position Chord Basics Sometimes referred to as closed position harmony. So-called because all the tones that make up the chord voicing exist within just one octave, meaning the harmony occupies an especially narrow or "close" range.

Close Position (spacing) : The upper voices, without the bass note considered, are an octave or less apart in total distance. In SATB texture, we measure that distance between the Soprano and Tenor voices. Open Position (spacing): The upper voices, without the bass note considered, exceed an octave in total distance.

Aren't more than an octave apart because. It's easier for the keyboard player to play it that way the average human hand can reach an octave on the keyboard.

To close a short position, a trader buys the shares back on the market - hopefully at a price less than at which they borrowed the asset - and returns them to the lender or broker.

What Is an Open Position? An open position in investing is any established or entered trade that has yet to close with an opposing trade. An open position can exist following a buy, a long position, a sell, or a short position.

The simplest voicing for a four note chord is the close position voicing, in which all the notes in the chord are arranged as close together as possible. For example, a C7 chord might be voiced in close position as “C E G Bb”. This is referred to as root position, since the root, C, is at the bottom.

Position tried inversions a closed position triad consists of the root. Third and fifth in that order. So we start out with the route we counted the third and we go to the fifth.

An open position in investing is any established or entered trade that has yet to close with an opposing trade. An open position can exist following a buy, a long position, a sell, or a short position. In any case, the position remains open until an opposing trade takes place.

Close vs Open Chord Voicings To play in 'close harmony' means to play all the notes of the chord within the range of a single octave. While to play in 'open harmony' (AKA open position, AKA open chord voicings, AKA spread voicings) means to play all the same notes but over a span larger than an octave.

Understanding Close Positions The initial position that an investor takes on a security is an open position, and this could be either taking a long position or short position on the asset. In order to get out of the position, it needs to be closed. A long will sell to close; a short will buy to close.
