41edo Chord Names

Various 41edo 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.

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.

P1-vm3-P5-M7 is named vm,M7 = downminor add major 7. One might think that the "add" could be omitted, and it could be named vmM7. But there's a rule that in a 7th chord, an initial arrow affects both the 3rd and the 7th. So vmM7 is a minor-major chord with both the 3rd and 7th downed, i.e. P1-vm3-P5-vM7.
