Notes: I (Inthar) am also taking some of Well-Tempered Fox's ideas how to approach 18edo.

Chords

Stacked-third chords

Split the major ninth, 1400 cents, into two different fifths, one 666 and one 733. Split each fifth into two thirds. This results in 24 possibilities.

Harmonic syntax

• resolve the 600 tritone inwards to 467 or outwards to 733 instead of a traditional third

Modulation

Some important modulatory intervals in 18edo: 5ths and 4ths

• sup5, sub5, sup4, sub4

3rds and 6ths

• maj3, supmin3, submin3
• min3, submaj6, supmaj6

2nds

• maj2 (maj2 = sup5 + sub5)

Dissonances

• supmin2, submin2, supmaj7, submaj7, tritone are the most dissonant modulations

Sup and sub cancel and result in a 12edo (actually 6edo) interval. So do 3 sup's and 3 sub's, as one sup/sub = ±1\36.

sub5/sup4 forms a 9edo subset, maj3 forms 3edo subset, maj2 forms 6edo subset. supmin3 and sub4 form complete cycles
