==Kite Giedraitis's diatonic solfege==
==Uniform solfege==


[[Kite Giedraitis|Kite's]] diatonic solfege uses the conventional 7 consonants D, R, M, F, S, L and T. It uses unconventional vowels. For each degree, the sequence runs [[wikipedia:Front_vowel|front]] to [[wikipedia:Back_vowel|back]] (i.e. bright to dim) -i -e -a -o -u for upmajor-major-mid-minor-downminor. It uses the exact same 33 note names as Kite's [[31edo solfege]].
See [[Uniform Solfege]] for a full explanation.

To find the [[octave complement]] of any interval:
|
 
|
*change the '''degree''' as usual: 2nd <--> 7th, 3rd <--> 6th, and 4th <--> 5th
|
*change the '''vowel''' as expected: -i <--> -u and -e <--> -o (-a is unchanged)

===Other circles===
 
*plain chain: So Ro Lo Mo To Fo '''Do''' Se Re Le Me Te Fe
*off chain: Su Ru Lu Mu Tu Fu '''Du''' Sa Ra La Ma Ta Fa '''Da''' Si Ri Li Mi Ti Fi
 
It's fairly easy to find the note a 4th or 5th above any note. The consonant is as would be expected from conventional interval arithmetic. There are only 3 fifths that don't rhyme:
 
*Do - Se (P1 to P5)
*Da - Si (^1 to ^5)
*Du - Sa (v1 to v5)
Thus Re plus a 4th is Se, Ro plus a 5th is Lo, etc. And in the example scales above, the 3rd, 6th and 7th always rhyme, as do the tonic and 4th, as do the 2nd and 5th.
 
However going a 5th up from an aug or upaug 4th would go to an aug or upaug 8ve, which doesn't exist in this solfege. Therefore one must rename the 4th as a dim 5th, then go up a 5th to a minor 2nd. Thus Fe + 5th = So + 5th = Ro. Likewise when adding a 4th, dim 5ths need renaming: So + 4th = Fe + 4th = Te.
 
=== Other circles===
The two circles of 5ths can be interwoven to make a circle of mid 3rds.
