drop2: the second voice from the top dropped an octave (drop-2 voicing).
It takes at least three voices, since the voice it names has to have
another below it for the drop to open the stack at all.
drop3: the third voice from the top dropped an octave (drop-3 voicing).
It takes at least four voices, for the same reason.
shell: root plus guide tones (third and seventh) for seventh chords, or
root/third/fifth for triads; the fifth and tensions are omitted.
rootless: the root omitted, keeping third/fifth/seventh and tensions
(a typical left-hand jazz voicing).
A chord with too few voices for the drop it asks for is voiced in close
position instead: a three-note drop3 is the close stack, not a stack with
its bottom voice pushed an octave down. A slash bass the chord does not
contain sounds under the stack rather than in it, and is not one of the
voices counted here.
A tertian voicing style for voiceChordStyled.
