The symbol set comprises standard accidentals (sharps, flats, and naturals), Stein–Zimmermann quartertone accidentals (semisharps and semiflats) and Gould arrows. When Gould arrows are not available, one may borrow the similar-looking [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation|Helmholtz–Ellis just intonation accidentals]] for prime 5. | The symbol set comprises standard accidentals (sharps, flats, and naturals), Stein–Zimmermann quartertone accidentals (semisharps and semiflats) and Gould arrows.
