In the sheet music for these progressions, the most relevant tools are indicated with specific abbreviations and colored symbols: MI: Modal Interchange AD: Altered Dominants SD: Secondary Dominants (covering both true secondary dominants and leading tone chords functioning as secondary dominants, sometimes with the relative second degree, labeled S2) TS: Tritone Substitution DC: Deceptive Cadence CM: Chromatic Mediant Please note that for DC, for readability reasons, the symbol applies only to the final chord—the one that "substitutes" the expected target chord—although a "Deceptive Cadence" inherently refers to the entire sequence in question. Note on Progression 4: While the F♯ø (measure 2) could technically be labeled as a Modal Interchange borrowed from E minor, it has been left unmarked here. In this context, it functions as the standard minor-flavoured ii° within a classic ii-V-I cadential framework heading toward E major, serving as a traditional functional voice-leading color rather than an isolated modal borrowing.
