The tonic is always wa. The root of each chord has a color, which defaults to wa. C - Am - F - G7 might be Cy - yAg - Fy - Gy,w7, spoken as "C yo, yo A gu, F yo, G yo wa-seven". If the root isn't wa, the root color is added to each interval's color. Thus yAg = yA + (w1 g3 w5) = yA + wC + yE.

The tonic is always wa. The root of each chord has a color, which defaults to wa. C - Am - F - G7 might become Cy - yAg - Fy - Gy,w7, spoken as "C yo, yo A gu, F yo, G yo wa-seven". If the root isn't wa, the root color is added to each interval's color. Thus yAg = yA + (w1 g3 w5) = yA + wC + yE.

In relative notation, the ~~I, IV and V chords default to a wa root. But II, III, VI and VII <u>must</u> have an explicit root-color. The~~ previous example becomes Iy - yVIg - IVy - Vy,w7, spoken as "one yo, yo-six gu, four yo, five yo wa-seven". Never use lower-case roman numerals for minor chords: ii becomes IIg or IIz.

In relative notation, the previous example becomes Iy - yVIg - IVy - Vy,w7, spoken as "one yo, yo-six gu, four yo, five yo wa-seven". Never use lower-case roman numerals for minor chords: ii becomes IIg or IIz. A IIIy chord has a w3 root, which is 32/27 not 81/64. The latter would be a LwIIIy chord (use L and s, not # and b; #IIIy is invalid).

In adaptive JI, chords are just, but roots move by tempered intervals. Comma pumps are indicated with brackets roughly halfway through he pump: Cy - yAg - [y=w]Dg - Gy - Cy. The pattern is [''old''=''new'']: the previous chord implies yDg and the following chord implies wDg. See [[Comma pump examples]].
