 In addition to the traditional tonnetz transformations, Ziffers implements cyclic methods that can be used to cycle through the tonnetz space. Cyclic methods turns individual pitch classes to chords using the tonnetz. The cyclic methods are:
 
-* <ic>hexaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 3)</ic>: Cycles through chords in the hexa cycle
-* <ic>octaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 4)</ic>: Cycles through chords in the octa cycle
-* <ic>enneaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 3)</ic>: Cycles through chords in the ennea cycle
+* <ic>hexaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 3, components: number = 1)</ic>: Cycles through chords via hexatonic cycles
+* <ic>octaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 4, components: number =  1)</ic>: Cycles through chords via octatonic cycles
+* <ic>enneaCycle(tonnetz: number[], repeats: number = 3, components: number = 1)</ic>: Cycles through chords via enneatonic cycles

OctaTowers were implemented in the same way, so it generates a single octatonic tower. Try increasing the number of components to obtain different graphs.

 **Boretz Regions** is the four-note analogue of the Weitzmann regions. Richard Cohn draws them in **Boretz Spiders**, a graph consisting of 8 feet between 7th and half-diminished 7th chords. The body (prosoma-opisthosoma) is a <ic>dim7</ic> chord, related to the others by a semitonal movement.

 As you have noticed, all these graphs usually have many chords, so sometimes it will be convenient to slice up fragments of the cycles. We encourage you to explore these methods and their different parameters. The tonnetz traversing methods can be used in combination with the Ziffers generative methods to sequence, arpeggiate and to randomize the chords in different ways.
