Solfege (do-re-mi) can be adapted to indicate sharp/flat and up/down. See [[Uniform solfege|Uniform Solfege]].
 
Solfege (do-re-mi) can be adapted to indicate sharp/flat and up/down in two ways, single-vowel solfege and double-vowel solfege. The former is more singable than the latter, especially for quick runs. But it doesn't work well for fixed-do, since it lacks sharps.
 
=== Single-vowel solfege ===
The initial consonant remains as before: D, R, M, F, S, L and T. The vowel indicates up/down/plain etc. The vowel sequence varies for different EDOs. See [[22edo Solfege|22edo solfege]], [[31edo solfege]] and [[41edo solfege]].
 
=== Double-vowel solfege ===
The initial consonant remains as before: D, R, M, F, S, L and T
 
The first vowel indicates sharp or flat: a = natural, e = #, i = ##, o = b, u = bb
 
The vowels are pronounced as in Spanish or Italian, and the pitch from ## to bb follows the natural vowel spectrum i-e-a-o-u
 
The optional 2nd vowel indicates up/down: a = ^^^, e = ^, i = ^^, o = v, u = vv
 
The 2nd vowel is optionally separated from the first by an "h", a "w", or a "y"
 
Thus vC# is Deo, pronounced as Deo or Deho or Dewo or Deyo.
 
This suffices for many but not all EDOs, as some require triple sharps or quadruple ups.
 
Fixed-do solfege examples:
* Da = C, De = C#, Di = C##, Do = Cb, Du =Cbb
* Da = C, Dawe = ^C, Dawi = ^^C, Dawo = vC, Dawu = vvC, Dawa = ^^^C
* De = C#, Dewe = ^C#, Dewi = ^^C#, Dewo = vC#, Dewu = vvC#, Dewa = vvvC#
Moveable-do solfege:
 
The 2nd vowel is as before. The 1st vowel's meaning depends on the interval.
 
Perfect intervals (tonic, 4th, 5th and octave): a = perfect, e= aug, i = double-aug, o = dim, u = double-dim
* Da = P1, De = A1, Di = AA1, Do = d1, Du = dd1
* Dawe = ^1, Dawi = ^^1, Dawo = v1, Dawu = vv1, Dawa = ^^^1
Imperfect intervals (2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th): a = mid, e = major, i = aug, o = minor, u = dim
* Ra = ~2, Re = M2, Ri = A2, Ro = m2, Ru = d2
* Rehe = ^M2, Rehi = ^^M2, Reho = vM2, Rehu = vvM2, Reha = ^^^M2
