passing note
A passing note, also known as a passing tone or nonchord tone, in music, is a note used to connect or smooth out the movement between two other notes; generally, the ones that are a scale step apart. It is not part of the chord and not part of the harmonic structure of the piece but rather a tool to create melodic, rhythmic or harmonic interest.
