    This document provides a reference guide for determining the chord qualities (major, minor, dominant, diminished) for each note in the major scale based on the key signature. It lists the major scale patterns for keys with no sharps or flats, keys with flats, and keys with sharps. For each key, it shows the root note and chord quality for each scale degree (I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii). An example analyzes the chords F major, G dominant, and B diminished to determine the key is C major.
