=== | === Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation === | ||
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] uses sharps and flats with arrows: | |||
{{Sharpness-sharp3-szg|36}} | |||
If the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings, then in some cases notes may be best denoted using double arrows. | |||
=== | === Kite's ups and downs notation === | ||
Spoken as up, downsharp, sharp, upsharp, etc. Note that downsharp can be respelled as dup (double-up), and upflat as dud. | Spoken as up, downsharp, sharp, upsharp, etc. Note that downsharp can be respelled as dup (double-up), and upflat as dud. | ||

=== Colored notes === | |||
One way of notating 36edo (at least for people who are not colorblind) is to use colors. For example, {{colored note|blue|A}} is 33{{frac|3}}{{c}} below {{colored note|A}} and {{colored note|red|A}} is 33{{frac|3}} cents above {{colored note|A}}. Or, the colors could be written out (red A, blue C♯, etc.) or abbreviated as rA, bC♯, etc. This use of red and blue is consistent with [[Kite's_color_notation|color notation]] (ru and zo). | |||

At least one 36edo harmonium has been built (the "sixth-tone harmonium" used by 20th century Czech microtonal composer {{W|Alois Habá}}), having effectively two quasi-Halberstadt keyboards (but with the bottom one duplicated at the top), each having 18 notes per octave organized in 6 groups of 2 natural-position notes and 1 flat/sharp-position note — see the Music section below for a video demonstration. | |||
