The notes are called 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 0 of the ~~4th~~ dekatave is written as 0₄ and has a frequency of ~~200*sqrt~~(2) Hz. Music is written with a jianpu-style notation (called the ''ciphersystem'') which has been adopted worldwide in the early 20th century.

The notes are called 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. 0 of the 2nd dekatave is written as 0₂ and has a frequency of 115.741 Hz, which is 100 vibrations per new second (1/100000 of a day). Music is written with a jianpu-style notation (called the ''ciphersystem'') which has been adopted worldwide in the early 20th century.

There are three main modes used in composition: dicot[7], called Durmoll (seen above), 5edo, and 10edo. Traditionally the main triad is taken to be [0 3 6]. Neopentatonicist composers use this triad on only the pentatonic notes on a certain mode, though more modern reincarnations of this style remove that requirement. Neopentatonic melodies are traditionally written in the equipentatonic mode and have a strong folk-like sound. Pieces or sections of pieces written in Durmoll or something similar have a strong resemblance to the music of the Classical period. Modern orchestral works from the Late Romantic onwards use both modes relatively equally.
