In general, the period is pronounced as "dot". For example, C.v is "C dot down", because "C down" means Cv major = Cv Ev Gv. However sometimes a slight pause suffices, e.g. C.vm = "C downminor" and Cv.m = "C-down minor". This is analogous to saying "A-flat nine" for Ab C Eb Gb Bb and "A flat-nine" for A C# E G Bb. However C.v7 must be "C dot down-seven" because "C down-seven" is C(v7) = C E G Bbv. Even if the period doesn't need to be pronounced, it's always acceptable to do so. | In general, the period is pronounced as "dot".

Applying "dot up" or "dot down" to a chord raises or lowers | Applying "dot up" or "dot down" to a chord raises or lowers the 3rd, and also the 6th or the 7th, if present. Thus "C dot down nine" = C.v9 = C Ev G Bbv D. The rationale for this rule is that a chord often has a note a perfect fourth or fifth above the 3rd (e.g. the maj6, min7, maj7, 6/9, min9 and maj9 chords). Furthermore, in many EDOs, upfifths, downfifths, upfourths and downfourths will all be quite dissonant and rarely used in chords. Thus if the 3rd is upped or downed, the 6th or 7th likely would be too. However the 9th likely wouldn't, because that would create an upfifth or a downfifth with the fifth. | ||

The above diagram is actually a section of the Stern-Brocot tree. The tree usually has ratios, not octave fractions (i.e. 4/7, not 4\7 as above). Also it's usually arranged vertically with nodes of the same &quot;generation&quot; occurring at the same height. For example, 5\9 and 7\12 are both children of 4\7, and would usually be level with each other. Here the nodes are arranged vertically by denominator, i.e., the EDO itself. The colored regions of the tree are what I call <strong>kites</strong>, and this version of the Stern-Brocot tree I call the <strong>Tree of Kites</strong>. The heptatonic kite is blue and the pentatonic kite is orange. Every kite has a head (4\7 for the blue kite), a central spine (8\14, 12\21, etc.), a fifthward side on the right (7\12, 11\19, etc.) and a fourthward side on the left (5\9, 9\16, etc.). Every node on a spine is a <strong>spinal</strong> node. Every non-spinal node is part of three kites. It's the head of one kite and on the side of two others.<br /> | The above diagram is actually a section of the Stern-Brocot tree.

Ups and downs can be used to notate rank-2 scales. First we must distinguish between edos and sizing frameworks. For example, keyboards with 7 white keys and 5 black keys, and fretted instruments with 12 frets per octave, predate the use of 12edo by many centuries. Such instruments use a 12-tone framework. Traditional Western notation uses a 7-note naming framework and a 12-tone sizing framework. (See the first chapter of part V of Kite's book for more on frameworks.)<br /> | Ups and downs can be used to notate rank-2 scales. First we must distinguish between edos and sizing frameworks.

There is no variant of D adjacent to C, and there is no 2nd with keyspan 1 or -1. Some other method of notation must be used for rank-2 fifth-generated tunings in these two frameworks.<br /> | There is no variant of D adjacent to C, and there is no 2nd with keyspan 1 or -1.

The main reason to use ups and downs is to allow fifth-generated heptatonic notation in frameworks and EDOs that aren't fully compatible with such a notation, i.e. those not on the sides of the 4\7 kite. The main reason to use a generator other than a fifth is to use a notation more compatible with one's chosen framework or EDO. Thus there is little reason to use ups and downs in such a situation.<br /> | The main reason to use ups and downs is to allow fifth-generated heptatonic notation in frameworks and EDOs that aren't fully compatible with such a notation, i.e. those not on the sides of the 4\7 kite.
