=== Modulation via Dim7 Chords ===
=== Modulation via Dim7 Chords ===
(A work in progress)
This is analogous to 12-equal's Cdim7 --> B7 --> E (or EM7 or Em7). The idea is to lower one of the 4 notes in the dim7 chord by a semitone to transform it into a dom7 chord, then use a typical V7 - I cadence. The following table uses a single dim7 chord that is spelled 4 different ways for convenience. This starting chord is one of the three possible dim7 chords in 12-equal, thus two more tables would be needed to show all possible modulations. The note that is lowered is '''<u>bolded</u>'''.

The last two columns take this idea further. The bolded note is <u>raised</u> to make a min6 chord that resolves down a 4th to the new tonic. This IVm6 - I cadence is simply the rotation of V7 - I. Note that both cadences take you to the same 4 keys.

In 41-equal, the dim7 chord is usually an ^dim7 or vdim7 chord, neither of which are symmetrical. So 40 more tables would be needed! How much to shift by? The bolded note has another chord note a tritone above it. The bolded note is either lowered to make that interval a perfect 5th, or raised to make a perfect 4th.  
In 41-equal, a dim7 chord is possible, but here we will focus on the ^dim7 and vdim7 chords. Neither of these are symmetrical, so 40 more tables would be needed! How much to raise/lower by?

Sometimes another note in the chord needs to shift by one edostep to make a low-odd-limit chord. When this happens, the shifting note is bolded in the "new chord" column. Without this shift, the new chord is more dissonant. But the down add-7 chord is a very familiar dissonance, so it's listed in the 2nd row an alternative to shifting. Furthermore the vanishing [[225/224|Ruyoyo comma]] means the 45/32 downaug 4th is really a consonant 7/5 dim 5th. The upminor add6 chord is a rotation of this, and is included as a possibility. But the other two non-shifting chords, F# minor add-down6 and D add-up7, are less plausible because of their dissonant plain 3rds.
