You can write out chord progressions using ups/downs notation to name the roots. Here's the first 4 chords of Paul Erlich's 22edo composition "Tibia":
You can write out chord progressions using ups/downs notation to name the roots. Here's the first 4 chords of Paul Erlich's 22edo composition "Tibia":
G.vM7(no5) = "G downmajor seven, no five"
G.vM7(no5) = "G dot down major seven, no five"
Eb^.v(add9) = "E flat up, downmajor, add nine"
Eb^.v(add9) = "E-upflat dot down, add nine"
C7sus4 = "C seven, sus four"
C7sus4 = "C-seven sus-four"
A7(v3) = "A seven, down three"
A7(v3) = "A-seven down-three"


To use relative notation, first write out all possible 22edo chord roots relatively. This is equivalent to the interval notation with Roman numerals substituted for Arabic, # for aug, and b for minor. Dim from perfect is b, but dim from minor is bb. Enharmonic equivalents like ^I = bII might be used in certain chord progressions like Im - ^IIIM - ^VIIM - ^IVm - ^Im.

These are pronounced "down-two", "up-flat-three", "down-sharp-four", etc. Periods are never needed after the root in relative notation because ups and downs are always leading, never trailing. Here's the "Tibia" chords again:
These are pronounced "down-two", "up-flat-three", "down-sharp-four", etc. Periods are used as before, for consistency, although they are not always needed. Thus 1 - M3 - 5 - vm7 = I(v7) = "one down-seven", 1 - vM3 - 5 - vm7 = I.v7 = "one dot down seven", and v1 - vM3 - v5 - vm7 = vI7 = "down-one seven". Here's the "Tibia" chords again:


 
IvM7(no5) = "one dot down major seven, no five"
IvM7(no5) = "one downmajor seven, no five"
^bVIv(9) = "upflat-six down, add nine"
^bVIv(add9) = "up-flat six downmajor, add nine"
IV7sus4 = "four-seven sus-four"
IV7sus4 = "four seven, sus four"
II7(v3) = "two-seven down-three"
II7(v3) = "two seven, down three"
