Kite's uniform solfege: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

The augmented and diminished meanings only apply to tunings that don't require ups and downs, such as sharp-1 edos and unsplit pergens.

The 5 vowels are like those in Spanish or Italian. There are only 5 vowels because those are the most singable, and also additional vowels would make the solfeges harder to learn.

Line 197:

In edos with an even [[Sharpness|penta-sharpness]], there are "in-between" notes with two names. For example, 4\19 is named as both a 2nd and a 3rd (Ru/No).

-u/-o can mean not only up/down, but also under/over, meaning in the ratio's denominator or numerator. A ~~colorspeak~~ review:

(In ~~colorspeak~~, the last two commas could instead be 33/32 and [[1053/1024]], but these are over commas, and they must be under to keep the -o/-u correlation.)

(In color notation, the last two commas could instead be 33/32 and [[1053/1024]], but these are "over" commas, and they must be under to keep the -o/-u correlation.)

If 81/80 maps to 1 edostep, then yo/gu = down/up = -o/-u. Likewise with the other commas. The table below shows that almost every edo has at least one such correlation. Parentheses are used when the prime's relative error is high, e.g. 12edo's prime 11.
