→Generalized Voicings: changed the order of stepwise names to match the order of drop-N names, changed lolo to dublo to avoid a conflict with colorspeak's 121-over. |

The stepwise terminology has the advantage that it directly indicates the stepspan, and hence the "openness" of the voicing. Furthermore, a generalized voicing has only one stepwise name, but possibly more than one drop-N name. Drop-2 could possibly be called lift-3, and drop-2-4 could possibly be called lift-1-3. | The stepwise terminology has the advantage that it directly indicates the stepspan, and hence the "openness" of the voicing.

To find the stepwise name from the drop-N name: drop-3 changes 1234 to 1243. From 1 to 2 is 1 step, from 2 to 4 is 2 steps, and from 4 to 3 is 3 steps. Thus the stepwise name is 1-2-3. | To find the stepwise name from the drop-N name: drop-3 changes 1234 to 1243, or more precisely 12(3)4(12)3.
