A UD, or utonal division, is a kind of arithmetic and monotonic tuning.

A UD is a specific (rational) type of ELD.

undertone mode, or under-n scale (equivalent to n-UDO)

n-UDp: n utonal divisions of interval p

An n-EDL is equivalent to a 2n-UDO (therefore EDL cannot be used to represent a UDO with an odd value for n).

example: 4-UDO = 4th undertone mode
quantity (0) 1 2 3 4
frequency (f) (8/8) 8/7 8/6 8/5 8/4
pitch (log₂f) (0) 0.19 0.42 0.68 1.00
length (1/f) (1/1) 7/8 3/4 5/8 1/2
