Kite's uniform solfege: Difference between revisions

Line 143:

In the perfect edos (7, 14, 21, 28 and 35), there is no need for the altered consonants, since ~~Lw1 is tempered out~~. ~~Some other edos (12~~, ~~??) also~~ omit them.

In the perfect edos (7, 14, 21, 28 and 35), there is no need for the altered consonants, since major and minor are equated. Edos 5, 11 and 13 omit some of them.

There is only so much one can do with 5 vowels and 13 consonants. Not all edos are covered. The number of vowels an edo's solfege needs equals the edo's [[sharpness|sharpness or penta-sharpness]], whichever is larger. Thus an edo with a (penta)sharpness of 6 or higher needs 6 or more vowels and isn't covered. Every edo above 60 is such an edo. The excluded edos are the less efficient ones, with a fairly inaccurate 5th for their size. Thus they tend to be the less popular edos.

Because 72edo is such a popular edo, an exception is made and it has 2 additional vowels.

Superflat edos have a very flat 5th. A uniform solfege can still be used, but the size of the interval won't match what its name implies very well.

Superflat edos (9, 11, 13b, 16, 18b and 23) have a very flat 5th. A uniform solfege can still be used, but the size of the interval won't match what its name implies very well.

In sharp-1 edos, to up an interval means to augment it. Thus Fu = Pa and So = Sha. Fru = Ra and Fra = Ro.

In flat-1 edos, to up an interval means to diminish it. Fo = Pa and Su = Sha. Fro = Ra and Fra = Ru.

In flat-1 edos (9, 16 and 23), to up an interval means to diminish it. Fo = Pa and Su = Sha. Fro = Ra and Fra = Ru.

In sharp-2 and sharp-4 edos, mid is spelled as downmajor, ~~or upperfect for~~ the 4th, ~~or downperfect for~~ the 5th.

In sharp-2 and sharp-4 edos, the mid 2nd/3rd/6th/7th is spelled as downmajor, the mid 4th is spelled as upperfect, and the mid 5th is downperfect.

In edos with an even [[Sharpness|penta-sharpness]], there are "in-between" notes with two names. For example, 4\19 is named as both a 2nd and a 3rd (Ru/No).
