Chordonyms (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'') are a solmization system based on these ratios. | Chordonyms (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'' /nəfxəkləp/) are a solmization system based on these ratios. Chordonyms represent movement in different dimensions (excluding 1D due to octave equivalency) to create the names for notes. Chordonyms and their ratios can be explored at the web app [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006 Chalaxata] (UI in Japanese). | ||
Here are some chordonyms (Ah is the chordonym for the root): | |||

Chordonyms can indicate movement in two dimensions simultaneously. For example, [[15/8]] is 3/2 times 5/4, or Chy + Ly, so it has the chordonym Chyli. | |||
=== Chord diagrams === | |||
Chord diagrams (Shasavic: ''Nafchalica'' /nəfxəlʲkə/) are a system for representing chords. Pitches are represented by horizontal white lines and steps in different dimensions are represented by different lines. | |||
