[[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. | [[Enharmonic equivalence]] may arise from this approach, which is when the same pitch can have multiple names.

== Inflections and alterations == | |||
An '''inflection''' is a microtonal accidental. Using this term allows the term '''accidental''' to refer exclusively to sharps, flats and naturals. Accidentals and inflections are referred to collectively as '''alterations'''. This terminology greatly facilitates discussions of microtonal scores. | |||
