    The first inversion is enharmonic to a minor sixth chord: Half-diminished chord inversions Half-diminished chord inversions. In diatonic harmony, the half-diminished seventh chord occurs naturally on the seventh scale degree of any major scale (for example, B ø 7 in C major) and is thus a leading-tone seventh chord in the major mode.
