These pitches form a chain, with each one separated from the next by a specific interval. This interval can be said to generate the notation, or the notation can be said to be based on this interval. In diatonic circle-of-fifths notation, this interval has been a just or near-just 3/2. Other intervals are possible, and even desirable for certain edos like 13, 18, and 23. | These pitches form a chain, with each one separated from the next by a specific interval.

[[Enharmonic equivalence]] may arise from this approach, which is when the same pitch can have multiple names. People are often taught that C♯ is enharmonically equivalent to D♭ but this is only true in [[12edo]] and its multiples (24edo, 36edo, etc | [[Enharmonic equivalence]] may arise from this approach, which is when the same pitch can have multiple names. People are often taught that C♯ is enharmonically equivalent to D♭ but this is only true in [[12edo]] and its multiples (24edo, 36edo, etc). The same term is sometimes used to refer to equivalence in general, but each edo technically has its own equivalence. [[7edo]] has the type of equivalence that could be called ''chromatic equivalence'', for example, since in 7edo the fact that stacking seven fifths takes one back to the root note means that sharps and flats are redundant. | ||
