'''Rational comma notation''' ('''RCN''') is a [[notation]] system using either plaintext (ASCII) or richtext to notate any frequency in [[just intonation]] (JI). It also names the pitch classes, which are notes up to [[octave equivalence]]. It was developed in 2015-2017 by musician and music theorist [[David Ryan]].

'''Rational comma notation''' ('''RCN''') is a [[musical notation]] system using either plaintext (ASCII) or richtext to notate any frequency in [[just intonation]] (JI). It also names the pitch classes, which are notes up to [[octave equivalence]]. It was developed in 2015-2017 by musician and music theorist [[David Ryan]].

RCN is a combination of:

Line 24:

Can transpose any JI music into any other key, by multiplying notations together. (In a computerised stave, this could be automated)

Shorthand exists for 5-limit notations such as L' = L[5], L'' = L[25], L. = L[1/5], etc

Shorthand exists for 5-limit notations such as L' = L[5], L'' = L[25], L. = L[1/5], etc.

Shorthand exists for pitch classes, of form L~a_b which is the same pitch class as L[x/y]
