Instead, it makes much more sense to assign the naturals to mosh and use sharps and flats to reach the notes in between. Or, you could use [[Diamond-mos notation|'''Diamond-mos notation''']], which is what ''Apartment in the Sky'' is notated in. My problem with this system is how difficult it is to actually implement, plus the idea of transposing a score instead of using key signatures is not my style. I'd rather just write in the accidentals manually than transpose the entire score, unless it's an extreme case. | Instead, it makes much more sense to assign the naturals to mosh and use sharps and flats to reach the notes in between.

Anyway, notation aside, this edo has such an amazing sound. Every 5n-edo (especially those up to 30edo) has a particular 5n-edo sound, yet this edo stands out even among that group. Being the largest edo with a singular third, it really cant help but sound totally xen, even though its semitone step-size tends to make it sound almost like 12edo in certain cases | Anyway, notation aside, this edo has such an amazing sound.

Mosh is a super cool landscape, but as [https://youtube.com/@adamneely?si=w8Hhclj4OZUJEd_N Adam Neely] shows in [https://youtu.be/H4KIwA8O9LU?si=RZ3DxiC_9sl_famK&t=295 How to make Microtonal Lo-Fi Hip Hop], you can just as easily stick to the 2 interlocked equipentatonic scales and produce some great music. | ||
Overall, a very unique and awesome edo that stands atop the macrotonal podium as the best edo smaller than 12edo (in my opinion). | |||
''*This problem creeps up in all 5n-edos up to 30edo, and while I say I prefer to assign the naturals to a different mos rather than stick to the diatonic mos which isn't even supported, I really only mean that for 10edo. 15edo is the other most common 5n-edo with the 720¢ fifth, and trying to notate it any other way than with accordance to the diatonic mos ends up looking weird. Even still, I do not like equating natural pitches, so I still choose to omit B and F. At the end of the day, some edos just aren't fit to be notated on a 5-line staff generated by fifths.'' | ''*This problem creeps up in all 5n-edos up to 30edo, and while I say I prefer to assign the naturals to a different mos rather than stick to the diatonic mos which isn't even supported, I really only mean that for 10edo. 15edo is the other most common 5n-edo with the 720¢ fifth, and trying to notate it any other way than with accordance to the diatonic mos ends up looking weird.
