Chord Charts (v1) vs Publication-Readiness PDF β€” Key Conflicts

Comparing the v1 chord-chart page against BELIEVEYOUME_current_2026-06-12.pdf. The PDF is the newer stem-verified source with a keys_resolved.yaml audit trail; the v1 charts still carry several retired auto-detector readings. Direction of truth is one-way: the PDF is current.

Full song-by-song comparison

Charts page contributes two signals: its top-of-page TOC label and the data-key on each rendered "Chords Above Lyrics" card. Both are shown.

The hard conflicts

2 Β· The Alligator β€” Gm vs G major

Charts read G minor; the PDF resolves G major and explicitly retires the minor reading. Major-vs-minor third is a real wrong-note conflict, and the chart is the stale artifact.

"The earlier card read G minor at β™©=80.7; both the key word and the tempo were detector artifacts, corrected here." β€” PDF, Alligator chapter

3 Β· The Mutiny β€” F# major vs Bβ™­ major

Tonal centers a tritone apart, different note collections β€” the worst conflict on the record. Both the charts TOC and the card still sit on the retired F# key.

"…the predecessor's 'Cβ™― major' reading followed the old Fβ™― key and does not survive the Bβ™­ correction." β€” PDF, Mutiny chapter

10 Β· Jackie β€” three different answers C minor / F / Eβ™­ major

Charts TOC says C minor, the card data-key says F, the PDF says Eβ™­ major (Bβ™­=V disputed against Bβ™­ Mixolydian, verified:false). C minor and Eβ™­ major are relatives β€” same notes β€” so the TOC roughly matches the PDF's collection. But the card key "F" matches neither, and the charts doc contradicts itself (TOC β‰  card).

Soft conflict

6 Β· Endless Summer β€” Bb major vs F Mixolydian

Same 7-note collection (B♭ major scale = F mixolydian), so no wrong notes — a tonic-label dispute only. The PDF resolves toward F as the resting tone (hook rides I→♭VII = F→E♭). Align the label, but the chords are not in error.

Internal charts inconsistency

The Alligator β€” TOC "G mixed-mode" vs card "Gm"

Beyond disagreeing with the PDF, the charts page disagrees with itself on Alligator: the TOC hedges "G mixed-mode" while the rendered card commits to "Gm."

Fix direction (one-way): the PDF is current and stem-verified. Update the v1 charts on The Alligator (Gm β†’ G major), The Mutiny (F# β†’ Bβ™­ major), and Jackie (card "F" β†’ Eβ™­ major; reconcile TOC vs card). Re-label Endless Summer Bb major β†’ F Mixolydian. The other six songs already agree.
