In relative notation, the I, IV and V chords default to a wa root. But II, III, VI and VII <u>must</u> have an explicit root-color. The previous example becomes Iy - yVIg - IVy - Vy,w7, spoken as "one yo, yo-six gu, four yo, five yo wa-seven". | In relative notation, the I, IV and V chords default to a wa root.

In adaptive JI, chords are just, but roots move by tempered intervals. Comma pumps are indicated with brackets: Cy - yAg - [y=w]Dg - Gy - Cy. | In adaptive JI, chords are just, but roots move by tempered intervals. Comma pumps are indicated with brackets: Cy - yAg - [y=w]Dg - Gy - Cy. We write y=w because the previous chord implies yDg and the following chord implies wDg. The pattern is [old=new], and the equals sign can be read as "becomes". For more examples, see [[Comma pump examples]]. | ||
Keys and scales are loosely named after the colors used. Wa is assumed present. In 5-limit JI, the key/scale of A minor is A gu. The Bbh7 - Ebh7 - Bbh7 - Fh9 example in the staff notation section is in Bb yo zo. Like chords, keys can be classified as bicolored (A gu), tricolored (Bb yo zo), etc. | Keys and scales are loosely named after the colors used. Wa is assumed present.

Rank-2 temperaments can be notated with ups and downs as well. Plain and mid are also used in this context. Some temperaments require an additional pair of virtual colors, '''lifts''' and '''drops''' (/ and \). Notes are named lift C = /C, downdrop F sharp = v\F#, etc. Intervals are named drop 4th = \4, uplift major 3rd = ^/M3, etc. Plain means neither up nor down nor lifted nor dropped. There may be upmid or liftmid intervals. Chords are named C-up lift-seven = C^,/7 = C ^E G /Bb, C uplift-seven = C^/7 = C ^/E G ^/Bb, etc. See [[Pergen|pergens]]. | Rank-2 temperaments can be notated with ups and downs as well.
