16edo chords can be named using us and downs. Using harmonic interval names, the names are easy to find, but they bear little relationship to the sound. 4:5:6 is a minor chord and 10:12:15 is a major chord! Using melodic names, the chord names will match the sound, but finding the name is much more complicated. First change sharps to flats, then find every interval from the root, then exchange major for minor and aug for dim, then name the chord from the intervals. (See [[xenharmonic/Ups and Downs Notation#Other%20EDOs|xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/Ups+and+Downs+Notation#Other%20EDOs]]). | |||

The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat 3/2 of 675 cents supports Mavila temperament, where the mapping of major and minor is reversed. The temperament could be popular for its 150-cent &quot;3/4-tone&quot; equal division of the traditional 300-cent minor third.<br /> | The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal.

Another interesting approach can include two interwoven <a class="wiki_link" href="/8edo">8-EDO</a> scales (narrow 12/11 neutral seconds). There are two major seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13\16, a 7/4 ratio approximation, sharp by 6.174 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh (which is mapped in 16's <strong>Mavila</strong> as a major seventh). If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (<a class="wiki_link" href="/19_16">19/16</a>, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad (pictured below).<br /> | Another interesting approach can include two interwoven <a class="wiki_link" href="/8edo">8-EDO</a> scales (narrow 12/11 neutral seconds). There are two major seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13\16, a 7/4 ratio approximation, sharp by 6.174 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh (which is mapped in 16's <strong>Mavila</strong> as a major seventh). If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (<a class="wiki_link" href="/19_16">19/16</a>, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad (pictured below).<br /> | ||

The interval between the 28th &amp; 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's &quot;narrow fifth&quot;. Another voicing for this chord is 14:16:19, which features 19:14 as the outer interval (528.7 cents just, 525.0 cents in 16edo). A perhaps more consonant open voicing is 7:16:19.<br /> | The interval between the 28th &amp; 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's &quot;narrow fifth&quot;.
