|
 |
|
|
| Appoggiatura | An accented non-chord tone that is approached by leap and resolved by step. Typically, though not always, appoggiaturas are accented, approached by ascending leap, and resolved by descending step.

|
| Double Pedal Point | A pedal point that contains two pitch classes.
|
|
|
|
| Escape Tone | A (typically) unaccented non-chord tone that is approached by step and resolved by leap in the opposite direction.
|

| Free Anticipation | A type of anticipation that is both approached and left by leap. In other words, the anticipation and resolution do not feature the same chord tone.

|
| Neighbor Group | A pair of non-chord tones used to embellish a single pitch both an upper and lower neighbor sound in succession in either order before returning to the original pitch. A neighbor group can be thought of as the combination of an escape tone and an appoggiatura in succession.

|
|
| Pedal Point | A stationary pitch that begins as a chord tone, then becomes a non-chord tone as the harmonies around it change, and finally ends up as a chord tone again when the harmony is once more in agreement with it.
