In perfect EDOs (7, 14, 21, 28 and 35), there is no major or minor. Every interval is perfect, and the quality can be omitted. The C-E-G chord is called "C perfect" or simply "C". The D-F-A chord is "D perfect" or "D". When applying the chart below to perfect EDOs, simply omit all qualities from the chord name. | In perfect EDOs (7, 14, 21, 28 and 35), there is no major or minor.

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. | ||
Applying "dot down" to a chord lowers | Applying "dot down" to a chord lowers only two chord components: the 3rd, and either the 6th or the 7th, whichever is 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 be quite dissonant and rarely used in chords. Thus if the 3rd is upped or downed, the 6th or 7th likely would be too. | ||
