→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". |
→Temperament Names: updated |

Temperaments are named after the color of the comma(s) they temper out. Many words are abbreviated. Large becomes la and small becomes sa. Double, triple, etc, become bi-, tri-, quad- and quin-. | Temperaments are named after the color of the comma(s) they temper out. Many words are abbreviated. Large becomes la and small becomes sa.

[[Meantone family#Septimal meantone|Septimal Meantone]] = Gu, but [[Meantone family#Dominant|Dominant Meantone]] = Gu and Rugu = g&rgT. Untempered primes can be included with '''plus'''. The 2.3.5.7 subgroup with 81/80 tempered out is g+zT = gu plus za. | ||

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.
