Kite's ups and downs notation: Difference between revisions

Line 63:

Up and down are short for up-arrow and down-arrow, and arrow refers to both. Sometimes the name of a notation symbol comes to mean that which the symbol indicates. Just as "bar" (the vertical line that separates measures) has come to mean "measure", "[[arrow]]" has also come to mean "EDOstep".

=== Enharmonic ~~equivalents~~ ===

=== Enharmonic unisons ===

Conventionally, in C you use D# instead of Eb when you have a Gaug chord. You have the freedom to spell your notes how you like, to make your chords look right. Likewise, in 22edo, D♭ can be spelled ^C or vB♯ or even ^^B (double-up B, or '''dup''' B for short, rhymes with "cup"). Respelling is done by adding or subtracting an [[Enharmonic unisons in ups and downs notation|enharmonic unison]], '''EU''' for short.

Line 177:

Lifts and drops (/ and \) can be used for microinflections of less than an edostep, since they look like part of an arrow.

For very large edos in which commas like 81/80 and 64/63 are many edosteps, the color notation accidental pairs yo/gu and zo/ru can be "edoized" to stand for a certain number of edosteps. For example, in [[311edo]], 81/80 is 6 edosteps. Thus g means ^> and y means v<. The colors can be combined with arrows as in upyo or dudgu (^y or vvg). Likewise, 64/63 is 7 edosteps, thus r means ^^> and z means vv<.
