Given a repetitive i-♭VI-♭III-♭VII loop in a sad piano bridge, the skill's reharmonization reference correctly diagnosed the missing dominant pull and produced a named G7♭9 substitution with a voice-leading rationale, clearly more surgical than a baseline 'try a secondary dominant' answer.

What Music Composition does
Translates vague creative problems ("the chorus feels weak") into concrete compositional moves — chord progressions, voicings, reharm techniques, arrangement fixes — grounded in genre-specific convention across classical, jazz, pop, K-pop, Afrobeats, and more. Triggers on music theory, songwriting, harmony, and orchestration questions; explicitly excludes DAW automation, MIDI generation, and mixing/mastering.
