These expand on the conventional Do Re Mi (and Do Di/Ra Re RiMe Mi). They use the 7 traditional consonants D R M F S L T. They use traditional vowels plus new ones.

== Uniform Solfeges ==
== Uniform solfeges==
[[Uniform Solfege|'''Uniform''' '''solfeges''']] 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: Fr- N- P- Sh- Fl- and Th-. The vowels are non-traditional. There is a uniform vowel sequence for all degrees, hence the name.
