The chain is theoretically infinite, and C♯ and D♭ are not equivalent. When meantone is extended beyond 12 notes, it may require double-sharps, double-flats and beyond. To avoid this, two new accidental pairs are introduced that raise/lower by the [[diesis]] and the [[kleisma]]. | The chain is theoretically infinite, and C♯ and D♭ are not (in general) equivalent.
