In contrast to 12-EDO chords, 19-EDO has four instead of the usual two main chord qualities which opens up completely new territory for eager musicians/microtonalists to explore.
19-EDO approximates intervals with factors of 2, 3, 5 and 7 quite well. This essentially means that normal chords - like in 12-EDO - can be represented nicely in 19-EDO.
Because enharmonics work differently in 19-EDO, pitches can be written down with standard notation.
Triads
Note that the cent values of the intervals are approximated. For detailed numbers, see 19edo.

Tetrads (Seventh chords)
Because of interesting new features - the supermajor seventh and "harmonic" seventh - new tetrads are possible while existing ones can be preserved.
