: Tetraptolemaic diminished seventh. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 20:09, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

== Generator counts ==

I'm planning to start another chord page draft at [[User:Overthink/Chords of pajara]] (not yet created as of the time this is written). The issue is that it's not as simple to give a chord by generator counts, as there's a half-octave period in pajara. The page [[Unidec/Chords]] uses a val, but it is quite messy. I propose the following solution: The half-octave is taken as the period, and the generator is a perfect fifth. Intervals reachable by stacking fifths are just written with a number; for example, 1–3/2–12/7 would be "0–1–3". An interval that requires stacking fifths from the half-octave would be written with "T" (for tritone) before the number of fifths stacked; for example, 1–6/5–3/2 would be written as "0–T3–1". Maybe it would be better to give an "R" (for root) before intervals reachable by stacking fifths, so that 1–6/5–3/2 would be "R0–T3–R1", which is more readable. I'm also not too sure if the fifth should be the generator or the semitone instead.--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 01:28, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
