==== Quartal Triads ====
==== Quartal Chords ====


Also of interest are the quartal triads of the Pinetone diatonic. We describe these as stacked 3-step intervals (fourths) of the scale, with major and minor designating the large and small 3-step intervals (fourths) respectively. This may seem an odd way to describe quartal chords, but it is consistent with the naming scheme I introduce for the Porcupine[7] 3-step (quartal) triads along side the quartal triads of the Pinetone diatonic.

3-step pentads ala the quartal voicings of modern jazz harmony may also be of interest. Two octaves are spanned by four 3-step intervals and a 2-step remainder. Given that Pinetone cannot be generated by 4/3 perfect fourths like Meantone can these pentads have much more variety in Pinetone than in Meantone.
