== Chord names ==
The only new chord names are for neutral chords (made up of stacked neutral thirds): n for a neutral triad, n<sup>7</sup> for a [[neutral tetrad|neutral seventh chord]], n<sup>9</sup> for a neutral ninth chord, and so on. Otherwise, all chords are named with conventional methods, with alterations and additions expanded to fractional sharps and flats. Some examples:
