'''Dodecatonic fret numbering''' ('''DFN''' for short) is a method of naming frets in tablature. Each fret is numbered to match the nearest 12edo fret. If multiple frets map to the same 12edo fret, they are differentiated with letters a, b, c, etc. If a fret falls roughly midway between two 12edo frets (within about 6¢ of the midpoint), it's numbered as the smaller option, and lettered as "h", short for halfway. If there is only one fret in a category (other than possibly an "h" fret), it is unlettered. Thus 24edo runs 0 0h 1 1h 2 2h 3...
'''Dodecatonic fret numbering''' ('''DFN''' for short) is a method of naming microtonal frets in tablature. Each fret is numbered to match the nearest 12edo fret. If multiple frets map to the same 12edo fret, they are differentiated with letters a, b, c, etc.  
 
0h, 1h, etc. can optionally be written as 0.5, 1.5, etc. 0h can optionally be written as h.

DFN tablature is designed for the professional guitarist who mainly plays 12edo guitar, but is sometimes hired to play microtonal music on a guitar they don't own. They would generally prefer tablature over score. DFN tab would be much easier for them to read than tab with conventional fret numbering. Upon seeing e.g. "6a" or "7", their muscle memory will place them in the general vicinity of the proper fret. Markings on the side of the guitar neck can group the frets into categories, making the tablature even easier to read. Possibly fretwire of two different colors could be used, to make the grouping even more obvious.

DFN applies to all frettings: edos, JI, etc. Fretlets can be named as if all fretlets extended across the entire fretboard. But that isn't necessary if the fretlets naturally group into full frets, as with True Temperament frets.

DFN has the advantage that adding or removing a single fret or fretlet won't affect the naming of most or all of the other frets.

== Various popular EDOs 15-24 ==
If a fret falls exactly midway between two 12edo frets (as in 16edo or 24edo), it's  lettered as "h", short for halfway. It can be numbered either as the smaller option followed by "h", or as the larger option preceded by "h". Mnemonic: 2h means "two plus a half", and h3 means "halfway to three". The two options are chosen so that the fret numbering is symmetrical, in the sense that the upper half-octave is a mirror image of the lower half-octave.

The open string is always named "0", and the octave fret is always named "12".
The open string is always named "0", and the octave fret is always named "12".


Starting with 29edo, the first fret is too small to be named 0h. Naming it 0a or 0b would cause inconsistencies with frets in the "12" category, which runs 28\29=12a, 29\29=12, and 30\29=12c. For example, fret 0b plus an octave would be not 12b but 12c. To avoid this, the rule is "the zeros must match the twelves". Therefore the first fret in larger edos is named 0c.
Starting with 26edo, the first fret is too small to be numbered with 1. Naming it 0a or 0b would cause inconsistencies with frets in the "12" category, which runs 25\26=12a, 26\26=12, and 27\26=12c. For example, fret 0b plus an octave would be not 12b but 12c. To avoid this, the rule is "the zeros must match the twelves". Therefore the first fret in larger edos is named 0c.
