These are pronounced "downmajor second", "upminor third", etc. For 4ths and 5ths, "perfect" is implied and can be omitted: ^P4 = "up-four" and vP5 = "down-five". In larger edos there may be "down-octave", "up-unison", etc.

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 you have to "speak the space". I see the need for a space as a small drawback, but can't think of a good way to avoid it. Alternatively, a comma could be used: C,vM,m7 vs. Cv,M,m7. The extra space/comma isn't needed when there's no usp or downs immediately after the note name, e.g. Cm.

The conventional chord naming system uses a lot of "shorthand" like dom7 for M3,m7 and min6 for m3,M6. I think this would cause 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 utonal chord. And larger edos would present even greater problems. Plus there's some ambiguity in the shorthand, e.g. in 12edo, both 0-3-6 and 0-3-6-9 are called dim chords.

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.


So I propose abandoning the shorthand and explicitly spelling out all the components of the chord, 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". Thirdless chords: 0-13-18 is either "Cm7,-3" or "C5,m7".

Thirdless chords: 0-13-18 is either "Cm7,-3" or "C5,m7".


The 6th, the 7th, the 9th, the 11th, etc. are explicitly written out, including their qualities. Thus the 9th isn't assumed to be major, and the presence of a 9th doesn't imply the presence of a 7th.

Sus chords: "sus" means the 3rd is replaced by the named note, a 2nd or 4th. "Sus4" means a perfect 4th, and sus^4 means an up-perfect 4th. Some edos would have susv4, susvv4, etc. "Sus2" means a major 2nd. In most edos, M2 is always a perfect 4th below the perfect 5th, see 16edo below for an exception.

To use relative notation, first write out all possible 22edo chord roots relatively. This is just the interval notation with Roman numerals instead of Arabic, # for aug, and b for minor. Dim from perfect is b, but dim from minor is bb. I've also included more enharmonic equivalents like ^I = bII.

The space between the C and the down symbol is needed because Cv is a note, and &amp;quot;Cv M,m7&amp;quot; is a different chord. That chord is pronounced &amp;quot;C down, major, minor 7th&amp;quot;, so you have to &amp;quot;speak the space&amp;quot;. I see the need for a space as a small drawback, but can't think of a good way to avoid it. Alternatively, a comma could be used: C,vM,m7 vs. Cv,M,m7. The extra space/comma isn't needed when there's no usp or downs immediately after the note name, e.g. Cm.&lt;br /&gt;

Dim from perfect is b, but dim from minor is bb. I've also included more enharmonic equivalents like ^I = bII.&lt;br /&gt;
To use relative notation, first write out all possible 22edo chord roots relatively. This is just the interval notation with Roman numerals instead of 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.&lt;br /&gt;
I ^I/bII v#I/^bII #I/vII II ^II/bIII v#II/^bIII #II/vIII III IV ^IV/bV v#IV/^bV #IV/vV&lt;br /&gt;
I ^I/bII v#I/^bII #I/vII II ^II/bIII v#II/^bIII #II/vIII III IV ^IV/bV v#IV/^bV #IV/vV&lt;br /&gt;
V ^V/bVI v#V/^bVI #V/vVI VI ^VI/bVII v#VI/^bVII #VI/vVII VII&lt;br /&gt;
V ^V/bVI v#V/^bVI #V/vVI VI ^VI/bVII v#VI/^bVII #VI/vVII VII/vI&lt;br /&gt;
These are pronounced &amp;quot;down-two&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;up-flat-three&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;down-sharp-four&amp;quot;, etc.&lt;br /&gt;

Sure, we could replace downmajor with n = neutral, but that spoils the economy -- two new words up &amp;amp; down, and we can name everything!&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively, one could replace downmajor with n = neutral or somesuch.&lt;br /&gt;
