Enharmonic Spellings  Used when a composer wants to make the direction of a line more apparent to the performer - as in D-D(-E as opposed to D-E-flat-E - or when a composer simply wants to make something easier to read - by notating a passage in E instead of F-flat, for example. They are inaudible to the listener.
Enharmonic Modulation  Refers to a modulation in which the common chord is reinterpreted enharmonically to fit into the second key.
Enharmonic Reinterpretations  Audible to the listener as they reinterpret a chord in a new key as part of a modulation.
