A chordioid, also called a chord fragment, fragmentary voicing, or partial voicing, is a group of musical notes which does not qualify as a chord under a given chord theory, but still useful to name and reify for other reasons. Almost all types of chordioid are at least ancohemitonic, allowing the possibility that the resultant scale be at least ancohemitonic itself.
