While the neutral circle-of-fifths notation models the 2.3 [[subgroup]] of [[just intonation]], with the neutral intervals capable of roughly modeling the harmonic 11, the syntonic-rastmic subchroma notation accurately captures the characteristics of the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, and is fit for a wider variety of equal temperaments and multirank temperaments. As it tries to strike a balance between the number and semantic consistency of the accidentals, it has the following three basic building blocks of accidentals: the conventional accidentals, the syntonic accidentals, and the rastmic and demirastmic accidentals, detailed below.

== Connections to interval naming ==
Syntonic-rastmic subchroma notation also has connections to [[SKULO interval names]] courtesy of collaboration between Aura and [[Lillian Hearne]], in which raising by the rastma is represented by "R" and lowering by the rastma is represented by "r".
