+``open_voicing()`` takes the close voicing and raises every other

+The result is a wider, more spacious sound — common in orchestral

 Major and minor triads share the same prime form — they're inversions
 of each other in pitch class space.
 
+The **normal form** is the intermediate step — the most compact ascending
+arrangement of pitch classes before transposition. It preserves the
+actual pitch classes (not transposed to 0), so it tells you which
+specific notes are in the set:
+
+.. code-block:: pycon
+
+   >>> Chord.from_tones("C", "E", "G").normal_form
+   (0, 4, 7)
+
+   >>> Chord.from_tones("A", "C", "E").normal_form
+   (9, 0, 4)
+
+Normal form keeps the original pitch classes; prime form transposes to 0
+for comparison. Use ``normal_form`` when you care about which notes,
+``prime_form`` when you care about the abstract shape.

-Chromatic scales are deprioritized since they match everything.
+How it works: ``recommend()`` tests your notes against every scale in
+every key (all 12 tonics times all scale types in the Western system).
+Each candidate is scored using ``fitness()`` — the fraction of your notes
+that belong to that scale (1.0 = perfect match). Results are ranked by
+fitness, with chromatic scales deprioritized since they match everything.
+Scales whose length is closer to the number of input notes are preferred
+when fitness scores tie.
+
+Returns a list of ``(tonic, scale_name, fitness)`` tuples. Pass ``top=``
+to control how many results you get back (default 5).
