'''Ledzo notation''' is a JI and regular temperament notation proposed as an '''alternative to [[color notation]]''' by '''Vector Graphics'''. It aims to solve these '''observed problems''' with color notation:

* The association of intervals to "colors" in color notation is extraneous, unnecessary, and possibly counterintuitive for people with intuitive associations between colors and numbers/ratios/intervals/

Line 39:

Octave complements can be specified by flipping the signs of the entries for each prime, and adding 1 to the '''a''' entry. For example, the major third is -2ac, while the minor sixth is 3a-c.

To provide a sense of the interval's size, ledzo notation can be paired with [[User:VectorGraphics/Walker brightness notation|'''WBN''']] or another system for specifying interval regions in order to give a sense of the size of the interval.

To provide a sense of the interval's size, ledzo notation can be paired with [[User:VectorGraphics/Walker brightness notation|'''WBN''']] or another system for specifying interval regions in order to give a sense of the size of the interval. In the case of WBN, only the first step is taken, so intervals are only labeled "third", "sixth", etc. Additionally, WBN does not have a built-in system of interval arithmetic, so using interval arithmetic with ledzo+WBN intervals becomes harder.

In order to disambiguate from other notation systems, letters are always written '''lowercase''' (so that, say, '''a''', when written, isn't confused for the note '''A''').

== Regular temperaments ==

[[Regular temperaments]] can be notated by taking a, b, c, etc to stand for the [[Majestazic system|tempered primes]] used in the temperament.
