There are three main categories:
Many solfeges have been devised, for example those by [[Erv Wilson]]. {{todo|improve synopsis}}


'''Backwards-compatible''' '''solfeges''' expand on the conventional Do Re Mi (and Do Di/Ra Re RiMa Mi). They use the 7 traditional consonants D R M F S L T. They use traditional vowels plus new ones. See [[Andrew Heathwaite|Andrew Heathwaite's]] solfeges for edos 17, 22, 31 and 41, and xenwiki user Phylingual's solfeges for edos 26, 29 and 53.
== Backwards-compatible solfeges ==
These expand on the conventional solfege. They use the 7 traditional consonants D R M F S L T. They use the traditional vowels plus new ones. See [[19edo|19edo solfege]], plus [[Andrew Heathwaite|Andrew Heathwaite's]] solfeges for edos [[17edo solfege|17]], [[22edo solfege|22]], [[31edo solfege|31]] and [[41edo|41]], and xenwiki user Phylingual's solfeges for edos [[26edo|26]], [[29edo|29]] and [[53edo|53]].

[[Uniform Solfege|'''Uniform''' '''solfeges''']] are particularly good for large edos like 41 and 53. They are also for rank-2 temperaments. To the 7 traditional consonants are added 6 altered consonants: Fr- N- P- Sh- Fl- and Th-. They use non-traditional vowels. There is a uniform vowel sequence for all degrees, hence the name.

[[Numeric Solfege|'''Numeric solfeges''']] are good for small edos that aren't heptatonic-friendly, like 5, 6, and 8-11.
{{See also|List of uniform solfeges for EDOs}}


In addition many others have been devised, for example those by [[Erv Wilson]].
{{See also|List of uniform solfeges for pergens}}


These are closely related to [[ups and downs notation]]. They are particularly good for large edos like 41 and 53. They are also for rank-2 temperaments. To the 7 traditional consonants are added 6 altered consonants. The vowels are non-traditional. There is a uniform vowel sequence for all degrees, hence the name.
