First Inversion of Triads

Complexity : 2/10 (simple)

When the 3rd from the root is in the bass, the chord is said to be in its first inversion.
- Doubling:
Major first inversions : The 3rd or 6th above the bass may be doubled. Avoid doubling the bass.
Minor first inversion: Any of the 3 notes may be doubled, but it is best to avoid doubling the bass here too, unless it is unavoidable.
Diminished first inversion: The bass may be freely doubled.
