In this case, that chord is best spelled with the raised fourth scale degree as root (a type of ♯iv°7 as opposed to ♯ii°7). This is enharmonic to ♯ii°7, but it's important to spell it with ♯iv as the root to show its function as a leading-tone chord resolving to V. That definitely happens, but I would say it comes after IV far more often than after ii. | |
| Mar 28, 2021 at 17:00 | comment | added | EdB123 | thanks for such a great answer Richard. I remember reading somewhere that sharp ii dim 7 can be used as a leading note dim 7th to V. This is actually how i was planning on using it here. (sharp ii dim 7-V). Do you have any knowledge of this function? | |
