The Fox-Raven absolute pitch system is used in this article to name 5L 3s pitches: The notation used in this article is J Ultharian (LsLLsLsL) = JKLMNOPQJ, with reference pitch N = 261.6255653 Hz. I denote raising and lowering by a chroma (L − s) by # and b.
I'll use the [[TAMNAMS]] standard to denote oneirotonic intervals and degrees (independent of their absolute pitch).
I'll use the [[TAMNAMS]] standard to denote oneirotonic intervals and degrees (independent of their absolute pitch).


The chain of perfect 3-steps becomes: ... Pb Kb Nb Q L O J M P K N Q# L# O# ...
Todo: In the following, I will use the [[diamond-mos notation]] standard to discuss oneirotonic harmony. JKLMNOPQ will refer to the mode being discussed, if the mode is unaltered.
 
Thus the [[13edo]] gamut is as follows:
 
'''J/Q#''' J#/Kb '''K/Lb''' '''L/K#''' L#/Mb '''M''' M#/Nb '''N/Ob''' '''O/N#''' O#/Pb '''P''' '''Q''' Q#/Jb '''J'''
 
The [[18edo]] gamut is notated as follows:
 
'''J''' Q#/Kb J#/Lb '''K''' '''L''' K#/Mb L# '''M''' Nb M#/Ob '''N''' '''O''' Pb O# '''P''' '''Q''' P#/Jb Qb '''J'''
 
The [[21edo]] gamut:

{{main|13edo/Inthar's approach}}
 
We will primarily discuss functional harmony using pseudo-JI chords, treating these separately from counterpoint. h/t to tprice and Jaimbee for the pseudo-JI chords presented here and for other discussions.
 
13edo oneiro enjoys two main (rooted) pseudo-JI sonorities analogous to major and minor triads: 0-(185)-369-646 ("pseudo-JI major triad" or just "major"/"Maj") and 0-277-738-923 ("pseudo-JI minor tetrad" or just "minor"/"min"). One of these chords are on the root in the 6 brightest modes of oneirotonic. In the two darkest modes, I think 0-277-738-1015 or 0-738-1015-277 works well. The chord 0-277-738 will be called "minor triad" or "mintri".

Adding 923 and 1108 to chords works well, and for jazzy extensions one can add 185, 461, and 646 to the upper octave.

=== Functional chords on each degree ===
Celephaisian
* 0md: minor
* 1md: minor
* 2md: major
* 3md: minor
* 4md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 5md: major
* 6md: minor
* 7md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
Mnionian (Melodic Mnarian)
* 0md: minor
* 1md: minor
* 2md: minor @5
* 3md: minor
* 4md: major, augmented 3ms
* 5md: major, minor 7ms
* 6md: minor triad, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 7md: "diminished triad", diminished 5ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
 
=== Progressions ===
kmd(maj) means the triad 0 369 646 on kmd, kmd(min) means the tetrad 0 277 738 923 on kmd
 
Common motions:
* 0md(maj or min) → M1md(min)
* 0md(maj or min) → 4md(min) (when ending on 0md this sounds like diatonic V to I)
* 0md(maj or min) → m6md(min)
* 0md(maj) → 5md(maj), 0md(min) → 5md(maj or min) (when ending on 0md this is a "dominant to tonic" motion)
* 0md(maj) → M3md(maj)
* 2md(min) → m1md(maj) → 0md(maj) (pseudo tritone sub)
 
=== Modulations ===
=== Modal harmony ===
Modes can be grouped by their functional properties.
* Major pJI chord on root: Dylathian, Illarnekian; Dylydian, Illarmixian
* Leading tone: Dylathian, Illarnekian, Celephaïsian; Dylydian, Mnionian
* "Classical functional modes" (loose grouping): Dylathian, Illarnekian, Celephaïsian, Ultharian; Mnionian, Mnaeolian(?)
* Minor pJI triad on root: Celephaïsian, Ultharian, Mnarian, Kadathian; Mnionian, Sardorian, Ulphrygian
* Upper leading tone: Kadathian, Hlanithian, Sarnathian, Sardorian, Sarlocrian
* Minor 6-mosstep: Hlanithian, Sarnathian, Mnaeolian, Sarlocrian
* 0 462 831 pseudo-JI chord on root: Dylathian, Dylydian, Hlanithian, Mnaeolian
We'll call degrees that don't have the major pseudo-JI or the minor pseudo-JI chord ''dissonant degrees'' (keeping in mind that dissonance is a feature a chord has in a musical language rather than a purely psychoacoustic property).
==== Celephaïsian ====
* 0d: min
* 1d: min
* 2d: Maj
* 3d: min
* 4d: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 5d: Maj
* 6d: min
* 7d: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
The main resolving degrees (analogues to dominant in diatonic) are 3md and 5md because of their leading tones.
 
Progressions:
* 0d(min) 1d(min) 3d(min, or 0-3-7-10\13) 0d(min)
* 0d(min) 1d(min) 6d(min) 3(min) 0d(min)
* 0d(min) 6d(min) 3d(min) 0d(min)
* 0d(min) 2d(Maj) 3d(min) 0d(min)
* 0d(min) 4d(min7) 5d(Maj)/3d(min) 0d(min)
* 0d(min) 6d(min) 5d(Maj) 0d(min)
==== Ultharian ====
* 0md: min
* 1md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 2md: Maj
* 3md: min
* 4md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 5md: min
* 6md: min
* 7md: Maj
==== Mnarian ====

* 1md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms
* 2md: min
* 3md: min
* 4md: Maj
* 5md: min
* 6md: minor triad, minor 4ms, minor 6ms, minor 7ms

21edo has the [[Step ratio|soft]] [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) mos with generator 8\21; in addition to the [[naiadic]]s (457.14¢) and extremely sharp fifths (742.85¢) that generate it, it has neutral thirds (instead of major thirds as in [[13edo]] oneirotonic), neogothic minor thirds, and meantone-like diatonic semitones. The 4-steps (4-step intervals) are more tritone-like than fifth-like, unlike in 13edo, although they do have a consonant, even JI-like quality to them. In terms of JI, it mainly approximates 16:23:30 (R-Lmos5-L7ms). Importantly, the sharp fifth is now harmonically much more fifth-like than the flat fifth, unlike in [[13edo]] and harder tunings. The main consonances are now chords using seconds and sevenths (in addition to thirds and sixths). The relatively consonant 114¢ and 1086¢ intervals may help to mask some of the more dissonant sonorities such as the naiadic and the sharp fifth, and work for chill and lo-fi styles.

Seconds, tritones and sevenths are consonances in addition to thirds and sixths. The naiadic is a semiconsonance. The sharp fifth is fifth-like but is still dissonant. The triad root-third-629 can resolve to a more consonant chord such as 0-343-457.
It is suggested to use R-2ms-mos5-6ms carefully in 21edo oneiro - it sounds more like a dissonant, unstable 12edo diminished 7th, unlike in 13edo and harder oneiro tunings where they have a more discernible (though complex) identity.
