'''Enharmonic equivalences''' may arise from this approach. This is when you have multiple names for the same pitch. C-sharp is enharmonically equivalent to D-flat, but only in 12edo, 24edo, 36edo, etc.
'''Equivalence''' may arise from this approach. This is when you have multiple names for the same pitch. The equivalence that occurs in 12edo is '''enharmonic equivalence'''. C-sharp is enharmonically equivalent to D-flat, but only in 12edo, 24edo, 36edo, etc. The same term is sometimes used to refer to equivalence in general, but each edo technically has its own equivalence. [[7edo]] has the type of equivalence that could be called ''chromatic equivalence'', for example.
