Generalizing major and minor to 41edo is fairly straightforward. The dorian and locrian modes don't translate well. The other five ya modes are formed from this collection of notes:

To be consistent, the two dorian scales should have a dual tonic. To avoid this, and to provide all six triads, there are ''two'' dual notes. Note that the 6th of the <u>up</u>dorian scale can be <u>downed</u>. Note that this dual-ness affects the step sizes, and 74<u>67</u>-<u>74</u>6 can become 74<u>67</u>-<u>65</u>6. Thus the moves vary.
