The '''letter notation''' is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[31-limit]] and some [[equal temperament|equal]] and [[rank|multirank]] [[temperament]]s. It is [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] notation with the letters H-Z used as accidentals for higher prime limits (starting from H to avoid confusion with note names, and skipping M to avoid confusion with major).

For example, [[5/4]] is IM3 (I-major third) and [[7/4]] is Km7 (K-minor seventh).
