Omissions are indicated by "no". The za [[Hendrix chord]] is Ch7z10no5. (To write it as a sharp-9 chord, use qu: Ch7zq9no5.) A no3 tetrad can also be written as a 5 chord with an added 6th or 7th: Cy6no3 = C5y6, and Cz7(zg5)no3 = C(zg5)z7. | Omissions are indicated by "no". The za [[Hendrix chord]] is Ch7z10no5.

In relative notation, the previous example becomes Iy - yVIg - IVy - Vy,w7, spoken as "one yo, yo-six gu, four yo, five yo wa-seven". Never use lower-case roman numerals for minor chords: ii becomes IIg or IIz. A IIIy chord has a w3 root, which is 32/27 not 81/64. The latter would be a LwIIIy chord (use L and s, not # and b; #IIIy is invalid). | In relative notation, the previous example becomes Iy - yVIg - IVy - Vy,w7, spoken as "one yo, yo-six gu, four yo, five yo wa-seven".

Comma pumps are indicated with brackets roughly halfway through | In adaptive JI, chords are just, but roots move by tempered intervals. Comma pumps are indicated with brackets roughly halfway through the pump: Cy - yAg - [y=w]Dg - Gy - Cy. The pattern is [''old''=''new'']: the previous chord implies yDg and the following chord implies wDg. See [[Comma pump examples]]. | ||
Keys and scales are loosely named after the colors used. Wa is assumed present. In 5-limit JI, the key of A minor is A gu and the scale is the gu scale. The Bbh7 - Ebh7 - Bbh7 - Fh9 example in the staff notation section is in Bb yozo. Like chords, scales can be classified as bicolored (A gu), tricolored (Bb yo zo), etc. | Keys and scales are loosely named after the colors used. Wa is assumed present.

<u>Pronunciation</u>: exponent syllables like bi or tri are always unaccented. To emphasize the prime limit, the first occurrence of the highest prime is always accented: Bi'''ru'''yo, Bi'''zo'''zogu. In longer names, the 1st occurrence of sa/la and/or of lower primes may also be accented: '''Sa'''sa-'''gu'''gu, '''Zo'''zotri'''gu'''. | <u>Pronunciation</u>: exponent syllables like bi or tri are always unaccented.
