List of 31edo chords
This is an extensive list of chords that exist and can be utilized in 31edo.
Intervals are written in ups and downs notation. Harmonics are omitted if any of the harmonics are larger than 100.
The names, as well as the shorthand chord symbols are given only as a suggestion, as there is no single standardized system.
Triads
Standard triads are stacks of thirds, selected from vm3, m3, ~3, M3, or ^M3.
