22edo chord names

Various 22edo triads, 6th and 7th chords, named via ups and downs. Not meant to be exhaustive, but this list does demonstrate the basic rules for naming.

	m3	^m3	vM3	M3	P4
Triad	Cm	C^m	Cv	C	C4
vM6	Cmv6	C^mv6	Cv6	C,v6	C4v6
M6	Cm6	C^m,6	Cv,6	C6	C4,6
m7	Cm7	C^m,7	Cv,7	C7	C4,7
^m7	Cm^7	C^m7	Cv^7	C,^7	C4^7
vM7	CmvM7	C^mvM7	CvM7	C,vM7	C4vM7
M7	CmM7	C^mM7	Cv,M7	CM7	C4M7

A punctuation comma (",") is spoken as "add", thus Cv,7 is "C-down add-seven". The only exception is when a comma separates two numbers, as in C4,7 which is "C four-seven". A comma is written, and "add" is spoken, whenever not doing so would cause confusion with another chord.

4:5:6:7 = C vE G Bb is named Cv,7. To get a shorter name for this important chord, one could call it a harmonic7 chord, or one could borrow from color notation to call it a har7 chord, written Ch7. Names for subharmonic chords can be similarly shortened.
