The lack of [[Meantone]] temperament has some pretty significant implications for triadic transformations and oblique voice-leading in my theory- namely in that while all three basic [[Wikipedia: Neo-Riemannian theory|Neo-Riemannian]] transformations are available, there must be additional specifiers to distinguish the original triadic transformations from new types of triadic transformations, and, as a result of my own theories on functional harmony, certain triadic transformations need to be renamed.

'''Pythagorean Parallel''' - This transformation involves exchanging a Pythagorean triad for its Pythagorean parallel.  For a Pythagorean Major triad, move the third down by an apotome, and for a Pythagorean Minor triad move the third up by an apotome.

'''Ptolemaic Parallel''' - This transformation involves exchanging a typical Ptolemaic triad for its Ptolemaic parallel.  For a Ptolemaic Major triad, move the third down by a Diptolemaic Chromatic Semitone, and for a Ptolemaic Minor triad move the third up by a Diptolemaic Chromatic Semitone.

'''Pythagoran-Ptolemaic Picardy''' - This transformation involves exchanging a Pythagorean triad for its Ptolemaic parallel.  For a Pythagorean Major triad move the third down by a Ptolemaic Chromatic Semitone, and for a Pythagorean Minor triad move the third up by a Ptolemaic Chromatic Semitone.


'''Pythagorean Relative''' - This transformation involves exchanging a Pythagorean triad for its relative of the same kind.  For a Pythagorean Major triad, move the fifth up by a Pythagorean Whole Tone, and for a Pythagorean Minor triad, move the root down by a Pythagorean Whole Tone.
