Can the fourth raised be used on a harmony pedal? How does it work? Examples?

The harmony pedal is realized by concatenating chords that share a note which is held for a significant portion of the piece. If you deem it appropriate to use the raised fourth and it shares a note with the chord before and the one after... why not.

The difficulty, perhaps, lies in inserting it into an effective syntax.

Thanks Eagle, I had gotten this far.

Assuming an I IV # IV V, I'll make an example over a C pedal, got it?

do sol do mi

do la do fa

do la do fa#

do si re sol

do do mi sol
