First we need an exact definition of major, minor, perfect, etc. that works with all edos. The quality of an interval is defined by its position on the chain of 5ths. Perfect is 0-1 steps away, major/minor are 2-5 steps away, aug/dim are 6-12 steps away, etc. | ||
There are 3 special cases to be addressed. The first is when the edo's 5th is narrower than 4\7, as in 16edo. Major is defined as always wider than minor, so major is not fifthwards but fourthwards: | |||

The second special case is when the edo's fifth equals 4\7, as in 7edo, 14edo, 21edo, 28edo, and 35edo. 42edo, 49edo, etc. have a fifth wider than 4\7. In these edos, there are zero keys per sharp/flat, and all intervals are perfect. | |||

The 3rd special case is when the edo's fifth is wider than 3\5, as in 8edo, 13edo, 18edo and 23edo. Heptatonic fifth-based notation is impossible in these cases, because the chain of 7 fifths isn't a MOS scale. Such EDOs are dealt with below. | |||
Chord names are based entirely on the ups/downs interval names, not on JI ratios. This avoids identifying one EDOstep with multiple ratios, as happens in 22edo when 0-7-18 implies 4:5:7 but 0-9-18 implies 9:12:16. 18\22 is neither 7/4 nor 16/9, it's 18\22! | |||

0-7-13-18 in C is "C vM,m7", pronounced "C downmajor, minor seventh". The space between the C and the down symbol is needed because Cv is a note, and "Cv M,m7" is a different chord. That chord is pronounced "C down, major, minor 7th", so one has to "speak the space". Alternatively, a comma could be used: C,vM,m7 vs. Cv,M,m7.

The conventional chord naming system uses a lot of "shorthand" like dom7 for M3,m7 and min6 for m3,M6. This causes problems in 22edo where there are so many choices for the 3rd, the 6th, the 7th and the 9th. For example, min6 could mean m3,vM6 = approximate 6:7:9:10 chord, or it could mean ^m3,M6 = approximate 1/1-6/5-3/2-12/7 | The conventional chord naming system uses a lot of "shorthand" like dom7 for M3,m7 and min6 for m3,M6.

Furthermore there's some ambiguity in the shorthand, e.g. in 12edo, both 0-3-6 and 0-3-6-9 are called dim chords. | ||
Thus the shorthand should be largely abandoned and all the components of the chord should be explicitly spelled out, with a few exceptions: 1) The root, obviously. 2) The perfect 5th is assumed present unless otherwise specified. Thus 0-7-18 is "C vM,m7,-5" and 0-6-11 is "C ^m,^d5". 3) The 3rd is also assumed to be present, and is implied by a quality with no degree. Thus 0-7-13 is "C vM". 4) The 3rd isn't spelled out if the 6th or 7th has the same quality as the 3rd. Thus 0-7-13-16 is "C vM6", but 0-7-13-17 is "C vM,M6".

Not counting the trivial edos 2, 3, 4 and 6, there are only a few such edos: 8, 9, 11, 13, and 18. As seen in this diagram, they are the ones to the left of the light blue region, plus the ones to the right of the central line in the orange region. 23edo can be notated similarly to 16edo, using 13\23 instead of 14\23. | |||
[[image:The 5th of EDOs 5-53.png width="800" height="1004"]] | |||
There are several strategies for notating these EDOs. Since heptatonic fifth-based may be better notated with a notation not generated by the fifth.</pre></div> | |||

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 are used in certain chord progressions like Im - ^IIIM - ^VIIM - ^IVm - ^Im.<br /> | ||

Not counting the trivial edos 2, 3, 4 and 6, there are only a few such edos: 8, 9, 11, 13, and 18. As seen in this diagram, they are the ones to the left of the light blue region, plus the ones to the right of the central line in the orange region. 23edo can be notated similarly to 16edo, using 13\23 instead of 14\23.<br /> | |||

There are several strategies for notating these EDOs. Since heptatonic fifth-based may be better notated with a notation not generated by the fifth.</body></html></pre></div> | |||
