Abstract:
Musical notation systems provide ways of recording which notes musicians should play at which times. One essential parameter described is the frequency. For twelve-note tuning systems the frequency can be described using letters A to G with sharp or flat symbols. For Just Intonation tuning systems these symbols are insufficient. This paper provides a system for describing any frequency which is a rational number multiplied by a suitable base frequency. Explicit notation is given for low prime numbers, and an algorithm for higher primes described.
 
Key features:
Can be inputted by computer keyboard alone (ASCII characters)
Can freely transpose keys in JI - done by multiplying notations - any two notations can be easily multiplied
Simple notations exist for 3-limit, 5-limit, 7-limit JI notes
Look-up table for providing ASCII notation for higher primes (11/8, 109/100, etc)
Algorithm for deriving these notations
Very compact notation for octave equivalence classes
Good for describing all the notes on a 5-limit or 7-limit tone lattice
 
Challenges:
Octaves are not sequential - easier to understand octave equivalence classes than exact notes . ( Example: C = 1/1 F = 4/3 G = 3/4 but 3/2 = `G so 3/2 requires an octave modifier to describe.)</pre></div>
