Jan 10, 2023 at 18:40 comment added Andy Bonner Thanks for the edit. Yes: assuming that EM was the right triad in the first place, then if the melody raises the B, then B# is the right spelling because this is still "an E chord that had something done to it."

Jan 10, 2023 at 17:06 comment added Andy Bonner (For an analogy: Yes, the two triads "sound the same." So do the words "horse" and "hoarse." But it isn't okay to just write "I have a horse throat," unless you actually mean that you have in your possession a trachea from a horse. You choose a spelling based on contextual function and intent.)
Jan 10, 2023 at 17:04 comment added Andy Bonner This is basically a question about why we choose one enharmonic spelling over another, based on context. The short answer is "you choose the right one," but I suspect you have some misunderstanding about that. It might help if you edit to tell more about why you currently think you would choose one or the other. (Basically, it should not depend on which note is "on the bottom," but on the overall context—the other chords around it and where everything is going.)
