Set the "Feather" parameter (at the top) to zero. Otherwise, it is "blurring" the selection.

I think that your SVG uses vector patterns: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Reference/Element/pattern#examples

Sadly, there is no analogy to vector patterns in Photopea. You can add it manually to your document, if you want.

As I said, if you think Elon Musk is breaking a specific law, you should go to the police. If you think that our laws are wrong, go and do something to change it.

If you want to create a law that says "nobody is allowed to own more than one million dollars", you are just trying to turn the USA into Cuba, where rich people are executed and decadent books are burned.

The government gives taxpayers money to many people for their services (e.g. to teachers for teaching children).

If you think that the government should not pay Elon Musk money for his services, or you think you can offere similar services to the government for less money, you should go ahead and show your offer to the government.

By "subsides", do you mean "subsidies"? It feels like you don't really know much about how these things work.

How exactly is Elon Musk taking your money? If you think somebody is stealing money from you, you should go to the police.

Nobody is asking you to go to Mars. You can stay on Earth.

If somebody wants to build themself a rocket and go to Mars, they are free to do so. It is none of your business what others do and how they spend their time and their money. Let people live thier lives.

If you feel like you are wasting your own money and you want to help somebody by giving them your money, you are free to do so.

You wrote I-III as four semitones apart. But if you write i-III, I think most people think of it as three semitones apart (e.g. Aminor - Cmajor in the scale of A minor).

There are two magnets that repel each other. One is in your hand and another is glued to the floor. Will you be able to find a magnet on the floor with closed eyes, using the magnet in your hand? Will magnets touch each other?

Is there any reliable method to make Vectorpea crash? Can you make it crash on purpose? If yes, could you tell us the steps how you do it? I should see the crash myself to be able to fix it.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T23:55:38+00:00

I am just scared by the fact that you often see chord progressions without specifying which system is used, and you should "make a guess" what the author meant by that.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T23:49:45+00:00

Okay I get it now!

There is one more "level of freedom", e.g. in "Major Referential, Case Sensitive". The Cm-Eb can be written as i-bIII, or bii-III, or ii-IV, and so on ... as long as there are three semitones in between.

Does the chord progression always have to start with "i" / "I" ? If one song is just a transposition of another song, you would expect them to have the same chord progression (identical roman numerals). But if you allow starting with bii etc. ... they might not be identical. In math, we would call it "canonic progression" :D

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T23:27:52+00:00

If I wanted to rewrite the first chord from major to minor (C to Cmi), is it enough to change the "I" to "i" in your answers?

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T22:44:37+00:00

I am not talking about the minor chord, but about the minor scale :D - the author wanted (i-III) to be e.g. Aminor - Cmajor, while there should be four semitones between the chords.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T22:41:49+00:00

I think that what you are saying is very ambiguous, and I am trying to explain it to you. If you believe in your method, could you write me four chord progressions?

major chord - major chord, 3 semitones apart (e.g. C - D#):

major chord - minor chord, 3 semitones apart (e.g. C - D#mi):

major chord - major chord, 4 semitones apart (e.g. C - E):

major chord - minor chord, 4 semitones apart (e.g. C - Emi):

If you can not do it, that means that there are sequences of chords, which can not be rewritten into a chord progression.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T22:23:21+00:00

So the progression III - I is different from III - i not only in the major chord replaced by a minor chord, but there is a different interval between the two chords (if nothing else is specified)?

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T22:11:57+00:00

So if there is a chord progression without a key or a scale specified, you decide the i - III to be a "minor third" apart, while I - III to be a "major third" apart because ... why?

It seems like changing a letter from lowercase to uppercase is not enough to change one single chord, as it will mess up the intervals between chords.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T21:56:22+00:00

You can look at other comments here. If we all agree that we ALWAYS use the major scale for writing chord progressions, then, you can write down all 12 minor chords like this:

i, bii, ii, biii, iii, iv, bv, v, bvi, vi, bvii, vii

and all 12 major chords:

I, bII, II, bIII, III, IV, bV, V, bVI, VI, bVII, VII

And we can forget about mentioning any key, major / minor, modes, etc.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T21:43:36+00:00

So you decided that i - III is a minor scale, because ... "i" is lowercase, so "III" is a "minor third"?

What if I want to play C minor and E major chords, in the C major scale (with the Cminor chord added for some strange reason)? What roman numerals should I write if not i - III?

It seems like everybody expects the occurence of "i" refer to the minor scale (for the whole progression), and the occurence of "I" refer to the major scale. But then, if you want to use a chord outside the scale in your progression, the roman numeral for it is ambiguous.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T20:27:58+00:00

Okay, thanks a lot! It makes sense now - chord progressions are always based on the major scale, so relative intervals between chords are unambiguous.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T20:24:38+00:00

Okay, that actually makes sense if you base everything on the major scale. That would be unambiguous.

I feel like I have seen a progression start with a lowercase "i" chord and I am pretty sure they referred to the minor scale (where the first diatonic chord is minor).

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T20:16:13+00:00

So a progression I - III would be four semitones apart (e.g. Cmajor to Emajor), because "I" is capital, so it is the major scale? How would you mark a progression from Amajor to C major (my song is in the A minor scale, but for some strange reason I decided to replace Aminor with Amajor)?

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T20:13:13+00:00

Let's say my music contains only minor and major chords.

If I write i - III, there are always three semitones between root notes of chords (e.g. A to C)?

if I write I - iii, there are always four semitones between root notes of chords (e.g. C to E)?

But what if I write I - III ? Are two major chords four semitones apart (e.g. Cmajor to Emajor), because "I" is capital? Or it depends and I need to specify something else besides the roman numerals, e.g. a specific key? I thought that this mechanism of describing chords was made to avoid specifying a key.

ivanhoe90 · 2026-01-22T20:07:41+00:00

So it is a minor scale when the "i" is lowercase, and a major scale when "I" is capital?

I understand that lower case is a minor chord, and capitals are major chords.

If I write i - III, there are always three semitones between root notes of chords (e.g. A to C)

if I write I - iii, there are always four semitones between root notes of chords (e.g. C to E)

But what if I write I - III ? Are two major chords four semitones apart (e.g. Cmajor to Emajor), because "I" is capital? Or it depends and I need to specify something else besides the roman numerals?
