    This document discusses available tensions, or non-chord tones, that can be added to chords in major and minor keys. It outlines which 9th, 11th, and 13th tensions are considered diatonic, or least dissonant, over different chord types in both keys. For example, in a major key the Imaj7 chord can have tensions of 9 and 13, while the II-7 chord can have tensions of 9 and 11. Secondary dominant chords can have 9th and 13th tensions that are diatonic or not.
