There are 12 base notes: N, F, S, Z, G, X, V/L (in equal-tempered tuning, these are the same note), M, P, T, C, and W, and then back to N. These are consonants found in a language spoken in the fictional setting. There are two accidentals: - and +. + raises the pitch, and - lowers it, by one chroma. In-universe, this is analyzed as simply a small change in pitch, unlike our # and b, which are generalized based on fifth stacking. | There are 12 base notes: N, F, S, Z, G, X, V/L (in equal-tempered tuning, these are the same note), M, P, T, C, and W, and then back to N.
