For example, when comparing "Etenraku" in the Hyojo tone and Banshikicho tone, the Hyojo tone has 'D-EEBBABEEEDE,' which would become 'G-AAEEDEAAAGA' after transposing a perfect fifth below, based on the principle of Western music.
『越天楽』を平調と盤渉調で聴き比べて例に挙げると、平調では「D-EEBBABEEEDE」となるが、これを西洋音楽の論理に乗っ取って完全5度下に移調すると「G-AAEEDEAAAGA」となる。
