m TallKite moved page Hi-lo notation to Kite's thoughts on hi-lo notation: Editor VectorGraphics has repeatedly edited pages I've written about my own research and inserted misinformation. On discord he is openly hostile to me. This move is necessary to avoid a toxic work environment for me.

changed the name of the close root position voicing from "close" to "basic", since there are multiple close voicings
Line 1: Line 1:
Hi-lo notation is for naming chord voicings. It applies to all tunings, even conventional ones like 12-edo or meantone. It allows arrangers, composers and theorists to discuss specific voicings with much more accuracy than the conventional 1st inversion, 2nd inversion, etc. nomenclature.

* C E G = C or C close
* C E G = C or C basic
* C G E = Chi3 (because the 3rd is an 8ve higher than in the close voicing)
* C G E = Chi3 (because the 3rd is an 8ve higher than in the close voicing)
* G C E = Clo5 (aka 2nd inversion)
* G C E = Clo5 (aka 2nd inversion)
