Whenever the bass note is to be the third of the chord (first inversion), use the table normally, but replace a fifth interval with a sixth (for example, if the bass note is E, and the table calls for a fifth in an upper voice part, use a C rather than a B).
When the bass note does not lie on the tonic of the chord, it should not be doubled in the upper voices; strengthen the tonic by moving the note that would have doubled the bass onto the root of the chord (which will double another part).
