Various 22edo triads, 6th and 7th chords, named via ups and downs. Not meant to be exhaustive, but this list does demonstrate the basic rules for naming.
m3 | ^m3 | vM3 | M3 | P4 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
triad | Cm | C^m | Cv | C | C4 |
vM6 | Cmv6 | C^mv6 | Cv6 | C,v6 | C4v6 |
M6 | Cm6 | C^m,6 | Cv,6 | C6 | C4,6 |
m7 | Cm7 | C^m,7 | Cv,7 | C7 | C4,7 |
^m7 | Cm^7 | C^m7 | Cv^7 | C,^7 | C4^7 |
vM7 | CmvM7 | C^mvM7 | CvM7 | C,vM7 | C4vM7 |
M7 | CmM7 | C^mM7 | Cv,M7 | CM7 | C4M7 |
A comma (the actual punctuation mark ",") is spoken as "add", thus Cv,7 is "C-down add-seven". The only exception is when a comma separates two numbers, as in C4,7 which is "C four-seven". A comma is written, and "add" is spoken, whenever not doing so would cause confusion with another chord.
4:5:6:7 = C vE G Bb is named Cv,7. To get a shorter name for this important chord, one could call it a harmonic7 chord, or one could borrow from color notation to call it a har7 chord, written Ch7. Names for subharmonic chords can be similarly shortened.
