	This page introduces a proposed notation system centering the [[2L 3s]] pentatonic scale.		This page introduces a proposed notation system centering the [[2L 3s]] pentatonic scale. This system is useful for tunings with very hard diatonic scales, making diatonic limmas and chromas counterintuitive.
