Teaching accords
Eight teaching accords, grouped by family. Accords built from the records to teach how a family is put together, in modeled parts: not Radler formulas, not for skin.
Each line is one record page: the name, a short fact, and the first line of the record. Every field on the page carries its source. Choose a group to show only that group; “All” shows them all again.
