 ''To cancel'' means to remove the previous effect, but I think what's meant here is to completely replace the previous effect with the new effect, so that the notated down-C sounds a down-C, not a natural C. If I'm right about that, I think ''replace'' is right word to use here. ''To override'' means the same thing as ''to replace'' in this specific context so I'm not sure of the comparison between ''override'' and ''"cancel"'' in the next paragraph. I think the two approaches are addition and replacement/override. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

+:Done. Sorry it took so long, I only just now noticed this. Feel free to ping me on discord next time. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 10:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
-Apologies if I offended Kite with my previous edit.

-I wanted to include Blackwood’s contributions because he names his accidentals “up” and “down” just as Kite does (see his article in Perspectives cited below). That way, if anyone comes to this page looking for information on Blackwood’s system, like I did, they aren’t confused. The naming is why I specifically cited Blackwood’s system and not other prior systems which also use arrows as accidentals, like that in Kircher’s Musurgia Universalis mentioned by Nick Vuci in the Discord.

-However, after reviewing the Discord, I recognize that my appending to Vector’s edit was not the appropriate way to go about this, and for that I apologize. It seems I am currently unable to edit the page itself, so I wanted to propose an additional paragraph here instead to be included under “See Also”: [[User:ButterBuilding11|ButterBuilding11]] ([[User talk:ButterBuilding11|talk]]) 08:20, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
-Easley Blackwood Jr. proposed a system of microtonal accidentals in 1982 with arrows which he also names “up” and “down,” though Blackwood’s system is distinct from Kite’s as described above. Blackwood, Easley. 1991. “Modes and Chord Progressions in Equal Tunings,” ''Perspectives of New Music'' 29, no. 2.

-I also might urge moving Kite’s credit, as it seems misplaced under the “See Also” heading, given that the article is specifically describing his system. [[User:ButterBuilding11|ButterBuilding11]] ([[User talk:ButterBuilding11|talk]]) 08:22, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
-Apologies for splitting my paragraphs across multiple posts on this talk page; for some reason, the system did not like me sending it all at once. Thank you so much! [[User:ButterBuilding11|ButterBuilding11]] ([[User talk:ButterBuilding11|talk]]) 08:23, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
