: I would argue that ups and downs have gotten consensus in the community that goes beyond the rules of your original standard. Diamond-mos ups and downs have the same meaning on the staff as yours (most of the time?); only the text rules are different. If people use ups and downs one way or the other, they can clarify their use by saying which standard they're using. I think us using ups and downs helps cut down on memorization, since it's an element most microtonalists already know.

== Special status of diatonic ==

I wanted to know, why does diatonic use standard notation (ABC, #/b) while non-diatonic uses different notation (JKL, &/@)? It can't be for distinctiveness purposes because everything non-diatonic uses identical notation. So if a lot of MOSes will be sharing the same notation anyway, we could use the "ABC" notation for both diatonic and non-diatonic MOS to avoid people having to learn new note names and accidentals. After all, this notation is said to attempt to "keep new symbols and memorization required to a minimum."

There are also other places where 5L 2s has a different treatment in this notation, like allowing equalized and collapsed for diatonic but not other MOSes.
