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 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
frequency 1.00 1.15 1.31 1.46 1.62 1.87 2.12 2.37 2.62
pitch 0.00 0.21 0.39 0.55 0.69 0.90 1.08 1.24 1.39
length 1.00 0.87 0.76 0.68 0.62 0.54 0.47 0.42 0.38
