harmonizing
Making chords align
Harmonizing is adding complementary notes to a melody, creating chords that support and enrich the main musical line: The backup singers harmonized beautifully on the chorus.
More broadly, it means bringing things into agreement or compatibility: harmonizing conflicting schedules, harmonizing regulations across borders.
The word suggests making disparate elements work together as a pleasing whole.
