== Ups and downs notation ==
Various [[31edo]] triads, 6th and 7th chords, named via [[Ups and downs notation|ups and downs]]. Not meant to be exhaustive, but this list does demonstrate the basic rules for naming. ~4 and ^4 can be used interchangeably, as can ~5 and v5.
 
Highly implausible chords are named as a more plausible [[Chord homonym|homonym]], e.g. 0-13-20 = C4(a5) becomes 13-20-31 = Fvm. "a" stands for augmented and "d" stands for diminished.

A punctuation comma (",") is spoken as "add", thus C,v7 is "C add-down-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. C^,~6 is clear without a comma or an "add" if limiting oneself to 31edo. However, some edos like 58-edo have an upmid 3rd and 6th, and C^~6 would be P1 ^~3 P5 ^~6.
 
Note that 4:5:6:7 = C E G vBb is named C,v7 not Cv7 because Cv7 is an alternate name for C~v7. To get a shorter name for this important chord, one could call it a harmonic7 chord, or one could borrow from [[color notation]] to call it a har7 chord, written Ch7. Names for subharmonic chords can be similarly shortened.

A comma (the actual punctuation mark ",") is spoken as "add", thus C,v7 is "C add-down-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. C^,~6 is clear without a comma if limiting oneself to 31edo. However, 53-edo and other edos have an upmid 3rd and 7th, and C^~6 would be P1 ^~3 P5 ^~6. In addition, "upmid" is a general term for slightly sharp neutral. One could play an upmid chord on a 31edo guitar by bending the mid 3rd up slightly.


Note that 4:5:6:7 = C E G vBb is named C,v7 not Cv7 because Cv7 is an alternate name for C~v7. One could call it a harmonic7 chord, or one could borrow from [[color notation]] to call it a har7 chord, written Ch7.
