I understood Margret's post as talking in "steps", as equalling half
notes, or frets on a guitar. By that view the seventh step is simply
the fifth, not a 7th chord. And when transposed by "eleven steps" it
becomes adds in for a MINUS NINE CHORD... (or -13 as voiced and called
in jazz) - wow, I missed that in my last post. Maybe not precisely "a
blobby cluster" but definitely a somewhat dissonant chord, maybe going
for "fluffy" if played light with a not too fat sound! We'll have the
major third, fifth, maj7 and in the upper octave half note above
octave (-13) and minor third.
