→Chord names: Added 6ths and 7ths can't default to wa, because Cy,7 spoken would sound like Cy7. Thus it must be Cy,w7, "C yo, wa seven". |

A 9th chord contains a 3rd, 5th and 7th. An 11th chord contains all these plus a 9th. A 13th chord contains all these plus an 11th. The 5th, 9th and/or 13th default to wa. The 6th, 7th, and/or 11th default to the color of the 3rd. Thus Cy13 = w1 y3 w5 y7 w9 y11 w13, and Cy9 and Cy11 are subsets of this chord. However, if | A 9th chord contains a 3rd, 5th and 7th.

The y,z7 chord is called the h7 chord ("har-seven"), because it's part of the harmonic series. Ch9 = Cy,z7,w9 and Ch11 = Cy,z7,w9,1o11. The s7 ("sub-seven") chord is part of the subharmonic series. It's the first 7 subharmonics, with the 7th subharmonic becoming the root. Cs9 = Cr,g7,w9 and Cs11 = C1o11(1or5,1og9). Note that s9 is not s7 plus a 9th, but a completely different chord. Cs6 = Cg,r6. Other than the s6 chord, all harmonic/subharmonic numbers must be odd, Ch6 and Ch8 are invalid. For any odd number N > 7, ChN is 1:3:5:7...N and CsN is N/(1:3:5:7...N). <u>Additions, a</u><u>lterations and omissions refer to degrees</u>, not harmonics or subharmonics: Ch7,11 adds w11, not 1o11. Ch9no5 omits w5, not y3. However, <u>all numbers > 13 refer to (sub)harmonics</u>, e.g. Ch9,15 adds y7 and Ch19no15 omits it. | The y,z7 chord is called the h7 chord ("har-seven"), because it's part of the harmonic series.

Chords can be classified as '''bicolored''' (e.g. g7 or r6), '''tricolored''' (e.g. z7(zg5) or z,y6), '''quadricolored''' (e.g. s6(zg5) or h7,zg9), etc. | Chords can be classified as '''bicolored''' (e.g. g7 or r6), '''tricolored''' (e.g. z7(zg5) or z,y6), '''quadricolored''' (e.g. s6(zg5) or h7,zg9), etc. | ||

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.
