One of the first notation proposals in Schönbaumia for 11edo was by Frank Wheat, proposing ABCDEFΓ as the nominals (Γ is the Greek letter gamma). The accidentals are A#/Bb, C#/Db, D#/Eb and F#/Γb. | One of the first notation proposals in Schönbaumia for 11edo was by Frank Wheat, proposing ABCDEFΓ as the nominals (Γ is the Greek letter gamma).

The important difference between Schönbaumian and diatonic tonality is that the easiest modulations are by a "minor third" (in-universe called a perfect third) of 3 steps. This means C minor differs from A minor by only one tone, E, which becomes Eb. Similarly to diatonic tonality, the third mode of the Schönbaum minor is the Schönbaum major, which differs in that the third tone is sharp by one step of 11edo. This scale has a skeletal chord built on the tonic (see below) and is a favorite of composers a century after Schönbaum. | |||
