1) Closed harmonic units of I-V-I and V-I, in which the primary harmony is the tonic.

2) Open harmonic units of I-V. Although the goal harmony is usually primary, in the
case of I-V a linear progression, for example, can elaborate either tonic or dominant,
depending on the context. Progressions from I-V are marked by a slur that starts under
the tonic and then curls up and over the dominant.

3) Elaborations of the dominant (V-V)

4) Third-related harmonies (e.g. VI and I), in which the final chord is primary.
