16edo notation can be easy utilizing Goldsmith's Circle of keys, nominals, and respective notation. The nominals for a 6 line staff can be switched for Wilson's Beta and Epsilon additions to A-G. The Armodue model uses a 4-line staff for 16edo.

Mos scales like mavila[7] (or "inverse/anti-diatonic" which reverses step sizes of diatonic from LLsLLLs to ssLsssL in the heptatonic variation) can work as an alternative to the traditional diatonic scale, while maintaining conventional A-G ♯/♭ notation as described above. Alternatively, one can utilize the Mavila[9] MOS, for a sort of "hyper-diatonic" scale of 7 large steps and 2 small steps. [[Armodue_theory|Armodue notation]] of 16-EDO "Mavila-[9] Staff" does just this, and places the arrangement (222122221) on nine white "natural" keys of the 16edo keyboard. If the 9-note "Enneatonic" MOS is adopted as a notational basis for 16edo, then we need an entirely different set of interval classes than any of the heptatonic classes described above; perhaps it even makes sense to refer to the octave ([[2/1]]) as the "[[decave]]".
