I thought this was fun. In the pedals down position with B C and RKL, my copedent offers up any chord in the major key with a first, third, fifth and seventh for each chord. Granted some of the voicings look a little kooky but they're all there.

Here's E major at the 7th fret:

It appears your RKL raises 1 a whole step, 2 a half step, and lowers 6 a whole step. You might want to edit your post to state this, because while that group of changes on a lever is becoming fairly common nowadays, it is not yet "standard", and where on the guitar it is located, if present, isn't standard either.

Nice work. Clear diagram. I had not thought of this.
My guitar does not have the string 6 lower on that 1/2 raise lever.
Also, I believe the term "pedals down" is standard for having the A and B pedals engaged. But we get what you mean with B and C.

Thanks Michael. The layout of the E9 copedant with the most common changes is a thing of beauty.

Is there an error on the chart for the 6th string? It's listed as matching the 7th string... but if the B-pedal is down at the 7th fret, and that note is split with the knee-lever's whole-tone lower, isn't that a D note (rather than C#)?
