- kotekan: interlocking parts; composite moves at 4 or (sometimes) 8 tones/beat
- neliti: skeletal reduction of leading melody; 1 tone per beat
- pokok: trunk tones; ordinarily 1 tone every 2 beats
- jegogan: sparsest melodic layer; one tone every 4, 8, 16 or 32 beats, depending on the length of the melody
- ngubeng: static; low rate of scale-tone change
- majalan: kinetic; high rate of scale-tone change
- axis: distance in scale tones between the midpoint and final tones of a melody
- contour class (CC): ordered, 4-member set of integers showing contour and interval relationships among four
consecutive tones in a given stratum; the last of the four must be in a metrically stressed position, and is set to 0 to
provide a point of orientation
- kotekan contour class (kCC): like CC, but restricted to a series of 8 consecutive tones (lasting a total of two beats)
in the kotekan stratum
