Arcturus hendecatonic notation is a notation system for EDTs and no-twos music, developed by CompactStar. It is based on the 2L 9s⟨3/1⟩ MOS scale generated by approximately 5/3. The 5/3 generator connects this scale to the 3.5 subgroup (as well as Arcturus temperament), similar to how the diatonic scale is connected to the 3-limit. The preferred generator for the scale is the patent val 5/3, unless it is outside

The 9|1 mode of 2L 9s⟨3/1⟩ is represented by 11 naturals CDEFGHJKLAB, and #/b accidentals are used to raise and lower by a chroma (L - s). We assume the TAMNAMS convention of zero-based indices for relative notation. Thus, the 13edt (Bohlen-Pierce) gamut is as follows:

Steps Absolute notation Relative notaiton
0 C perfect 0-step
1 Db minor 1-step
2 D major 1-step
3 E major 2-step
4 F major 3-step
5 G major 4-step
6 H perfect 5-step
7 J perfect 6-step
8 Kb minor 7-step
9 K major 7-step
10 K major 8-step
11 A major 9-step
12 B major 10-step
13 C perfect 11-step

The chord 3:5:7 is notated as C - H - L (P0 - P5 - M8). To notate larger EDTs such as 28edt, this notation can be combined with ups and downs notation, with ^/v accidentals raising and lowering by 1 EDTstep:
