Uniform solfeges are a type of [[solfege]] devised by [[Kite Giedraitis]]. They are closely related to his [[ups and downs notation]]. Like the notation, they work with both rank-1 and rank-2 temperaments. They use a uniform vowel sequence for each degree, hence the name. A uniform solfege lets one perform basic interval arithmetic directly within the solfege, without having to translate to note names or interval names and back. | '''Uniform solfeges''' are a type of [[solfege]] devised by [[Kite Giedraitis]].

Uniform solfeges use the conventional consonants D R M F S L T. But all consonants except D have an alternate form that indicates flattening or sharpening: | Uniform solfeges use the conventional consonants D R M F S L T.
