So I've noticed a lot more people seem to be coming here saying that their significant other broke their heart, and I'd like to help if someone needs.

Honestly, the best you can do is walk with them. They need to know they aren't alone and it's up to their close friends to do it.

you didnt add any sort of groups or any options, you can edit it and then people can try to answer now its kinda hard.

hope this gives you a heads up why you arent answered. : d

have a great rest of your day!

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
