'''Subdietic''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals between roughly 48/25 above the Tonic and roughly 20 cents below the octave reduplication of the Tonic. These intervals tend to act as parachromatic alterations of either the Tonic, or, in Bass-Up Tonality, the Lead- however, there are functional differences between a Subdietic and a Lead in Bass-Up Tonality. In Bass-Up Tonality, Subdietics are often more likely to be passing tones than Leads, and, when they’re not merely passing non-chord tones, they are often harder to approach and or follow up without creating some kind of awkward tonal disconnect, with such a disconnect being especially noticeable for intervals like [[64/33]]. Furthermore, whereas a Lead can resolve to the Tonic in part through a strong harmonic connection, a Subdietic is much more likely to do so through sheer brute force, and even these cases require a proper set-up, as otherwise, the awkward tonal disconnect between the Subdietic and the Tonic is likely to result in the Subdietic resolving back down to either the Lead or the Subtonic. As if that weren't enough, the Subdietic also has the Antintersubiant function. | '''Subdietic''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals between roughly 48/25 above the Tonic and roughly 20 cents below the octave reduplication of the Tonic.
