Porcupine divides the perfect 4th into 3 equal steps, thus its [[pergen|pergen]] is (P8, P4/3). [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|Ups and downs]] [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|notation]] can be used. The generator is vM2. The enharmonic is v<span style="vertical-align: super;">3</span>A1, thus ^<span style="vertical-align: super;">3</span>C equals C#. The enharmonically equivalent alternate generator is ^^m2. The genchain is

This is the rank-2 notation, for a generator of indeterminate cents. The edo notation uses ups and downs to represent one EDO-step. If an edo tempers out porcupine, it must be sharp-3, sharp-6, sharp-9, etc. (See the scale tree on the [[EDO|EDOs]] page.) The notation is identical for sharp-3 edos (15, 22, 29, etc.). For sharp-6 edos (e.g. 30 or 72), simply double all ups and downs. The generator is vvM2. The genchain is P1 - vvM2 - ^^m3 - P4 - vv5... or C - vvD - ^^Eb - F - vvG... Sharp-9 edos are rarely used, but the generator would be v<span style="font-size: 14.4px; vertical-align: super;">3</span>M2.

== Vector's approach ==
The notes of the porcupine zarlino scale (LH Nice-Ionian) are labelled CDEFGAB corresponding to the diatonic scale in Ionian. The porcupine chroma is then notated by sharps and flats.
Intervals are given irregular "functional names", as using a non-MOS as the base scale causes intervals to behave unexpectedly.
