=== Augmented Chords ===

The Ruyoyo comma implies an augmented chord because it ~~lets~~ 5/4, 5/4 ~~and~~ 9/7 ~~add up to 2/1~~. In 12-edo, the aug chord is symmetrical, and it is its own homonym. But in 41edo, it's asymmetrical. Its homonyms are also augmented chords, but of a different type. Thus there are three basic augmented chords: upaug, downaug and down-halfaug. In the last chord, the 5th is spelled as vv#5 rather than ^^5 so that the interval from the 3rd to the 5th is spelled as vM3 not ^<sup>3</sup>m3. An alternative name is down-dudsharp5 (dud is short for double-down).

The Ruyoyo comma implies an augmented chord because it equates the octave with 5/4 plus 5/4 plus 9/7. In 12-edo, the aug chord is symmetrical, and it is its own homonym.

An alternative name for down-halfaug is down-dudsharp5 (dud is short for double-down).

There is another trio of aug chords: up-halfaug, upminor-halfaug and up-~~sesquiaug~~, all homonyms. Their innate comma is the [[Sensamagic chords|Zozoyo comma]], which equates the octave with 9/7 plus 9/7 plus 6/5. Thus one 3rd is quite smaller than the other two. Only the uphalfaug is clearly an augmented chord. Since the 3rd is upped, the chord's 5th is spelled as ^^5 not vv#5. The upminor-halfaug chord's lowest 3rd is this small 3rd, and it really can't be called an augmented chord. The up-~~sesquiaug~~ chord has ^^#5, a ~~sesqui-augmented~~ 5th ~~("sesqui-" means one-and-a-half)~~. This is equivalent to a downmajor 6th, and again, it's debatable if this is really an augmented chord. In close voicing it uses every 3rd note of the [[Bohlen-Pierce|Bohlen-Pierce 13ED3 scale]].

There is another trio of aug chords: up-halfaug, upminor-halfaug and up-dupaug, all homonyms. Dup is short for double-up. Their innate comma is the [[Sensamagic chords|Zozoyo comma]], which equates the octave with 9/7 plus 9/7 plus 6/5. Thus one 3rd is quite smaller than the other two. Only the uphalfaug is clearly an augmented chord. Since the 3rd is upped, the chord's 5th is spelled as ^^5 not vv#5. The upminor-halfaug chord's lowest 3rd is this small 3rd, and it really can't be called an augmented chord. The up-dupaug chord has ^^#5, a dupaugmented 5th. This is equivalent to a downmajor 6th, and again, it's debatable if this is really an augmented chord. In close voicing it uses every 3rd note of the [[Bohlen-Pierce|Bohlen-Pierce 13ED3 scale]].

All six chords are odd-limit 9. Another possible aug chord is odd-limit 11. Unlike the others, it has no innate comma. 7:9:11 = up-downsharp5 = C^(v#5) = C ^E vG#. Unfortunately it's very difficult to finger. Using an open string, it's 5 6 x 0. But see [[Kite Guitar Exercises and Techniques by Kite Giedraitis#Primes 11 and 13]] for an alternative way to play this chord, as well as 8:10:13 = down-upsharp5 = Cv(^#5) = C vE ^G#.

Note that the mid-5th is spelled as a dupdim 5th from the chord root (^^Gb) if the 3rd is upped, but as a dud 5th (vvG) if the 3rd is downed. This avoids the interval from the 3rd to the 5th being spelled with a triple up or down.

Note that the mid-5th is spelled as a dupdim 5th from the chord root (^^Gb) if the 3rd is upped, but as a dud 5th (vvG) if the 3rd is downed. This avoids the interval from the 3rd to the 5th being spelled with a trup or trud (triple-up or triple-down).

The most important chord with a mid 5th is the downup7 chord. When translating pre-20th-century music to the Kite Guitar, the 7-limit up7 and down7 chords often sound inappropriate. The two best 5-limit translations of the dom7 chord are the downadd7 chord and the downup7 chord. The latter is used in Kite's [[Kite Guitar Translations by Kite Giedraitis|Greensleeves translation]]. The mid-5th appears as the interval from the 3rd up to the 7th. In a 5-limit context it is 36/25. It's equated to 16/11 by the [[100/99|Luyoyo]] comma, and to 13/9 by the [[325/324|Thoyoyo]] comma.
