The '''letter notation''' is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[31-limit]] | The '''letter notation''' is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[31-limit]] and some [[regular temperaments]]. It is [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] notation with the letters H-Y used as accidentals for higher prime limits (starting from H to avoid conflict with note names). These are fairly easy to memorize as they go in alphabetical order as the [[prime limit]] increases. | ||

For example, [[5/4]] is IM3 and [[7/4]] is Km7 (spoken names, if mechanical-sounding, can also be made out of these like "I-major third"). | |||
This system can also be used to notate [[regular temperament]]s (including both equal temperaments and rank-2 or higher). For example, [[24edo]] could be notated by using [[12edo]] notation together with L/M to denote the tempered [[33/32]] quartertone of 50 cents: | |||
