The alternative brightness notation provides 51 different regularly spaced interval names based on size. "Infra(minor)" and "ultra(major)" may be used in place of "arto" and "tendo", hence the use of infra- and ultra- prefixes in the distinguishing of multiple neutral intervals.

There are a total of 67 standard interval names, although they are assigned to 48 25c regions. However, the alternative names can be used to distinguish multiple intervals in the same region (as is the case with 53edo's thirds).
