Omissions are indicated by "no", the Hendrix chord might be Ch7z10no5. Unless using po or qu, enharmonic substitutions aren't allowed. 7/3 is a 10th, never a 9th unless it's a qu 9th (e.g. Ch7zq9no5). A no3 tetrad can also be written as a 5 chord with an added 6th or 7th: Cy6no3 = C5y6, and Cz7(zg5)no3 = C(zg5)z7.

The y,z7 chord is also called the h7 chord ("aitch-seven"), because it's part of the harmonic series. The s7 ("sub-seven" or "ess-seven") chord is part of the subharmonic series. It's the first 7 subharmonics, with the 3rd subharmonic becoming the root. Note that s7 has no 7th. Ch9 = y,z7,w9 and Ch11 = y,z7,w9,1o11. Cs9 = g,r6,w11 and Cs11 = g,r6,w11,1u9. All harmonic numbers must be odd, Ch8 is invalid. For any odd number N > 7, ChN would be 1:3:5:7...N and CsN would be 3/(1:3:5:7...N). Additions refer to harmonics or subharmonics, not degrees: Cs7,11 adds 1u9, not w11. To add w11, use colors: Cs7,w11. Alterations and omissions refer to degrees, not (sub)harmonics: Cs7(zg5) alters the w5, not the 5th subharmonic g3. Ch9no5 omits w5, not y3. However, all numbers ~~≥ 15~~ refer to (sub)harmonics (e.g. Ch19no15)~~, since degrees above 13 aren't conventionally used~~.

The y,z7 chord is also called the h7 chord ("aitch-seven"), because it's part of the harmonic series. The s7 ("sub-seven" or "ess-seven") chord is part of the subharmonic series. It's the first 7 subharmonics, with the 3rd subharmonic becoming the root. Note that s7 has no 7th. Ch9 = y,z7,w9 and Ch11 = y,z7,w9,1o11. Cs9 = g,r6,w11 and Cs11 = g,r6,w11,1u9. All harmonic numbers must be odd, Ch8 is invalid. For any odd number N > 7, ChN would be 1:3:5:7...N and CsN would be 3/(1:3:5:7...N).

Alterations and omissions refer to degrees, not (sub)harmonics: Cs7(zg5) alters the w5, not the 5th subharmonic g3. Ch9no5 omits w5, not y3. However, all numbers > 13 refer to (sub)harmonics (e.g. Ch19no15).

Chords can be classified as '''bicolored''' (e.g. g7 or r6), '''tricolored''' (e.g. z7(zg5) or z,y6), '''quadricolored''' (e.g. s7(zg5) or h7,zg9), etc.
