Editing Slendro (section)

==Note names==
In Java, the notes of the ''slendro'' scale can be designated in different ways; one common way is the use of numbers often called by their names in [[Javanese language|Javanese]], especially in a shortened form. An older set uses names derived from parts of the body. Notice that both systems have the same designations for 5 and 6. There is no 4; possibly this is because it appears as an unusual tone in pelog and is not used when modulating between the systems.

The name ''barang'' is also sometimes used for 1 in ''slendro'' (it is the usual name for 7 in pelog); the octave is then designated as ''barang alit''.

In Bali, the scale starts on the note named ding, and then continue going up the scale to dong, deng, dung and dang.
