From the name of a chord you can tell at a glance which tones from the Major Scale belong to the chord. The Root, Major Third, and Perfect Fifth are implicit in chords which don't specify them. If any of these three basic tones are missing (or unsubstituted) then they appear at the end of the chord name in parentheses.
The following symbols are used by FretPet to indicate the tones in a chord:
| m | Minor Third |
| sus | Suspended Fourth |
| b5 | Diminished Fifth (added) |
| – | Diminished Fifth |
| o | Diminished Triad (mb5) |
| + | Augmented Fifth |
| #5 | Augmented Fifth (added) |
| 6 | Sixth (No Seventh) |
| /6 | An added Sixth (With 7 or .dmg/Shareware World/Sound & Music/FretPet 2.0.2/FretPet Manual (HTML)/image/char/delta.gif/delta.gif){kind=small} 7) |
| o7 | Diminished 7th ( = mb5bb7 or mb5/6) |
| 7 | Dominant Seventh |
| 7 | Major Seventh |
| b9 | Flat Ninth (Minor Second) |
| 9 | Ninth (Second) |
| 9 | Major Ninth |
| #9 | Sharp Ninth (Minor Third) |
| 11 | Eleventh (Fourth) |
| 11 | Major Eleventh |
| #11 | Sharp Eleventh (= b5) |
| 13 | Thirteenth (= 6) |
| (R) | Root missing |
| (3) | Third Function missing |
