In this new representation, the pitch contour is projected over the division of the scale of Uşşâk as it is described by the Turkish system. Thus, the intervals shown are much more accurate compared to a projection over the previously used 5-lines staff notation.

Makam Uşşâk Matrix
Octave = 53 commas

Dügah - Segah = 8 commas
Segah - Çargâh = 5 commas
Çargâh - Neva = 9 commas
Neva - Hüseynî = 9 commas
Hüseynî - Acem = 4 commas
Acem - Gerdâniye = 9 commas
Gerdâniye - Muhayyer = 9 commas
