Armodue theory ~~referring~~ not only to the [[16edo|16-tone equal temperament]], but also to half-equal and [[Lou_Harrison|Lou Harrison]]'s [[JustIntonation|Just intonation]] 16 note scale, the natural octave division by [http://www.pertout.com/ Andrián Pertout] and the 16-to-31 [[OverToneSeries|overtone scale]], ~~Armodue has been proposed as~~ a ~~new~~ notation and theory system.

Armodue theory, not only in the sense of [[16edo|16-tone equal temperament]], but also regarding half-equal tuning and [[Lou_Harrison|Lou Harrison]]'s [[JustIntonation|Just intonation]] 16 note scale, the natural octave division by [http://www.pertout.com/ Andrián Pertout], and the 16-to-31 [[OverToneSeries|overtone scale]], is a xenharmonic notation and theory system for 16-note tuning.

~~Desiring~~ to make ~~the approach to~~ Armodue ~~as easy as possible~~, ~~but conscious that they had to give new names to the notes that constitute the system~~, the Italian creators of the [http://armodue.com/ Armodue] system named ~~them~~ numbering from 1 to 9:

In order to make Armodue approachable, while also making its notation distinct from Western diatonic notation, the Italian creators of the [http://armodue.com/ Armodue] system named the notes numbering from 1 to 9:

1, 1#, 2, 2#, 3, 3#, 4, 5, 5#, 6, 6#, 7, 7#, 8, 8#, 9

Consequently, the interval between a note at frequency n and other at frequency 2n is called a ''tenth'' or ''~~decave~~''.

Consequently, the interval between a note at frequency n and other at frequency 2n is called a ''tenth,'' ''decave,'' or ''decim''.

The basic semitone of Armodue, whatever concrete temperament is used, is always called '''eka''' (from Sanskrit eka: one, unit). In the chromatic Armodue scale, one eka always corresponds to the interval between any two consecutive notes.

Line 16:

The notes without accidentals form a [[Mavila|Mavila]] [[7L_2s|~~superdiatonic~~ scale (7L 2s)]].

The notes without accidentals form a [[Mavila|Mavila]] [[7L_2s|armotonic scale (7L 2s)]].

If for the execution of a musical piece we need to write on two or more tetragrams, the notes will be written in the same way for every tetragram.
