There are 4 main ways to notate the angel scale. One method uses a simple sesquitave (fifth) repeating notation consisting of 4 naturals (eg. Do Re Mi Fa, Sol La Si Do). Given that 1-5/4-5/3 is fifth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-10/9-5/4, it may be more convenient to notate angel scales as repeating at the double, triple, quadruple, quintuple or sextuple sesquitave (major ninth, thirteenth, seventeenth i. e. ~pentave or twenty-first or augmented twenty-fifth), however it does make navigating the [[Generator|genchain]] harder. This way, 5/3 is its own pitch class, distinct from 10/9. Notating this way produces a major ninth which is the Aeolian mode of Napoli[6L 2s], a major thirteenth which is the Dorian mode of Bijou[9L 3s], an ~pentave which is the Mixolydian mode of Hextone[12L 4s], a major twenty-first which is the Ionian mode of Guidotonic[15L 5s] or an augmented twenty-fifth which is the Lydian mode of Subdozenal[18L 6s]. Since there are exactly 8 naturals in double sesquitave notation, 12 in triple sesquitave notation, 16 in quadruple sesquitave notation, 20 in quintuple sesquitave notation and 24 in sextuple sesquitave notation, letters A-H (FGABHCDEF), dozenal or hex digits (0123456789XE0 or D1234567FGACD with flats written C molle or 0123456789ABCDEF0 or G123456789ABCDEFG with flats written F molle), the Guidonian names with F as the lowest ut or letters except I and O may be used.
