Using standard [[chain-of-fifths notation]], a sharp (an augmented unison) raises a note by 4 edosteps, just one edostep beneath the following nominal, and the flat conversely lowers. The sharp is quite wide at about 178¢, sounding like a narrow major 2nd. C to C♯ describes the approximate 10/9 and 11/10 interval. An accidental can be divided in half, and the remaining places can then be filled in with half-sharps, half-flats, sesquisharps, and sesquiflats, reducing the need for double sharps and double flats. The half-sharp is notated as a quartertone, but at about 89¢ it sounds more like a narrow semitone. The gamut from C to D is C, D♭, C{{demisharp2}}, D{{demiflat2}}, C♯, and D, with many ascending intervals appearing to be descending on the staff.
