Each interval "shortname" I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy & speedy utterance. I have taken a set of common names for the intervals already in existence & used them as a jumping-off point. You'll notice I've done away with the words ''subminor, supermajor, diminished, & augmented'' in favor of the more consistent ''lesser & greater''. In a system with more notes, those types of distinctions could prove important, but I believe it gets in the way here, so I've simplified. | Each interval "shortname" I've devised has exactly two simple syllables of two letters to facilitate its easy & speedy utterance.
