Due to dividing the eighteenth into so many steps, standard notation becomes almost useless for gamma-hexacot. Regardless, notation has been provided for where gamma-hexacot intervals align with standard monocot intervals (which use [[chain-of-fifths notation]]).
While there is no agreed-upon notation system for gamma-hexacot, the following is based on interpreting the generator as a grave fourth, and allowing for an ^ or v to stand for 1/6 of a diatonic semitone, so ^^^C and vvvDb are enharmonic.

Gamma-hexacot
Pergen [P8, ccP4/6]
Numeral form 3-sheared 6-cot
Pure generator size 483.01 ¢
Pure period size 1200 ¢
Forms 17, 22, 27, 32, 37
Characteristic multival entry 6

Gamma-hexacot is a temperament archetype where the generator is a grave fourth of about 482–484 ¢, six of which make 16/3 (perfect eighteenth, two octaves above a perfect fourth), and the period is a 2/1 octave. Gamma-hexacot temperaments also include all alpha-dicot and tricot intervals. Gamma-hexacot temperaments typically generate the 5L 7s, 5L 12s, and 5L 17s MOS scales.

Intervals and notation

While there is no agreed-upon notation system for gamma-hexacot, the following is based on interpreting the generator as a grave fourth, and allowing for an ^ or v to stand for 1/6 of a diatonic semitone, so ^^^C and vvvDb are enharmonic.

Temperament interpretations

An obvious interpretation for gamma-hexacot is hemiseven, where the generator is 45/34, two of which make 7/4, three make 15/13 above an octave, four make 26/17~32/21 above an octave, six make 4/3 above two octaves, seven make 30/17 above two octaves, seventeen make 9/5 above six octaves, and nineteen make 11/7 above seven octaves.
