C ---- G ----- D ---- A ---- E


Moving up from C to F^ moves up a half-octave. Ups and downs are used (F^ not F#) because F# is on the wrong genchain. It's two steps to the right of E. The exact meaning of "up" here is "a half-octave minus a fourth", with the understanding that both the octave and the fourth may be tempered. F^ is a fourth plus an up, which works out to be exactly a half-octave.

Srutal is only compatible with even-numbered frameworks. In order to preserve the primary meaning of ups and downs, which is up or down one key or fret, this notation is limited to frameworks in which the 4th is one key less than half an octave. These are 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18b, but not 18, 20, 22, 24, etc. For those frameworks, use double-ups.


It would be equally valid to write the half-octave not as an up-fourth but as a down-fifth.
