Created page with "This article features a notation system that is not meant to be taken too seriously, similar to Breeds' Dwarf system for MOS scales, as part of its design is obviously jocular in nature, but I think that's part of the charm. == Preamble == The '''Punctional Just System (PJS)''' is a logical system for ∞-limit just intonation, based on the Functional Just system. One of the differences with the Functional Just System is that its radius of tole..."

added PUS (that's another pun)

Italian/French are basically the same as Spanish, only that they use Z for dièse/diesis (zièse/ziesis), and S, not j. (sage-heure/saggiore). The ñ- is also kept, but spelt gn- as their orthography commands. Apart from that, In French there are more homophones!

Be it said that the only languages I am truly fluent in are English and Spanish, knowing more or less some French. I'm open to suggestions so that the consonants chosen in this system don't produce ''that'' nonsensical of names.

It may not be used for perfectly strict intervals, and instead be used to name edos that decently approximate chains of fifths notation well enough, using the main L/p/d/s names for 41L 12s, and "mercator" accidentals which could stand in simply for fractions of pyth comma or edosteps. That way, we can avoid talking about hives and heavens.  
Heavens, that's a quite system. I give it a 7/8.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''PUS''' '''works badly with fifths whose pyth comma is beyond 20-28c.''' Note that for meantone and other systems where the pythagorean comma is negative, for it to make sense, the L/p/d/s consonants refer to meantone dieses, and fractions of those dieses. For superpyth, since the comma maps to something ''huge,'' n/m fractions are used instead. No mavila, blackwood, whitewood, or any weird fifth tuning with this system.
