41edo chord names: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:14, 4 February 2025

Various 41edo triads, 6th and 7th chords, named via ups and downs notation. Not meant to be exhaustive, but this list does demonstrate the basic rules for naming.

Highly implausible chords are named as a more plausible homonym, e.g. C4(♯5) becomes 17–28–41 = F^m, where "a" stands for augmented and "d" stands for diminished.

A punctuation comma (",") is spoken as "add", thus Cv,7 is "C-down add-seven". The only exception is when a comma separates two numbers, as in C4,7 which is "C four-seven". A comma is written, and "add" is spoken, whenever not doing so would cause confusion with another chord.

P1-vm3-P5-M7 is named vm,M7 = downminor add major 7. One might think that the "add" could be omitted, and it could be named vmM7. But there's a rule that in a 7th chord, an initial arrow affects both the 3rd and the 7th. So vmM7 is a minor-major chord with both the 3rd and 7th downed, i.e. P1-vm3-P5-vM7.
