	'''KISS notation''' (short for "Keep It Simple, Stupid") is a schema for notation systems for any rank-2 tuning system, originally proposed by [[User:Mike_Battaglia\|Mike Battaglia]] on the Yahoo! Tuning list<ref>https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_105842.html</ref>, using standard clefs, staves, accidentals, and note names. It could be easily extended to any epimorphic scale, rather than used only for MOS, but below is the original specification.

	I've been working on a very simple, standardized notation scheme for any tuning system. It has standard nominals, a standard way to assign accidentals, generalizes the two-staff bass/treble clef notation, has a standard way to standardize the range of each staff, and has a standard way to set the absolute pitch of the staves (and hence the whole tuning system).
