In 44edo, sharps and flats alter pitch by 6 edosteps. This means intervals can be notated with half sharps and half flats equal to 3 edosteps, in addition to ups and downs. The table below uses only sharps, flats, and ups and downs. When translating music from 22edo to 44edo, single ups and downs simply become double ups and downs (vEb in 22edo would be vvEb in 44edo). | In 44edo, sharps and flats alter pitch by 6 edosteps.

44 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 44edo or 44ed2), also called 44-tone equal temperament (44tet) or 44 equal temperament (44et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 44 equal parts of about 27.3 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/44, or the 44th root of 2.
Theory
44edo is a double of 22edo, to which it adds the ratios of 13, 19, and 23. While not the most accurate 2.3.5.7.11 tuning, 22edo is certainly a relatively compact one, and it's natural to extend it this way. The most practically useful of these additions is easily the 13th harmonic with its neutral intervals, but the 17th, 19th, and 23rd are not to be dismissed.
It is on the optimal ET sequence for 7-, 11- and 13-limit nautilus temperament, for 11-limit spell temperament, and for 13-limit cantrip temperament. In the 13-limit it supplies the optimal patent val for vigin temperament.
The 2*44 subgroup of 44edo is 2.9.5.21.11.13.17.19.23, on which 44 tempers out the same commas as the patent val for 88edo.

Subsets and supersets
44edo has subsets 2, 4, 11, 22.
One step of 44edo is very close (only 0.0086 cents sharp) to 64/63 (the septimal comma). Ruthenium temperament realizes this proximity through a regular temperament perspective, and it is supported by a large number of edos which are a multiple of 44 - for example 1012edo, 1848edo, and 2684edo. The aforementioned 88edo, which doubles it, is a meantone tuning that corrects the 7th harmonic to near-just, although at the expense of increasing relative error of the 13th and 19th harmonics; alternatively, if it is treated as directly approximating the 9th harmonic, then it also corrects the 9th harmonic to near-just.
Intervals
In 44edo, sharps and flats alter pitch by 6 edosteps. This means intervals can be notated with half sharps and half flats equal to 3 edosteps, in addition to ups and downs. The table below uses only sharps, flats, and ups and downs. When translating music from 22edo to 44edo, single ups and downs simply become double ups and downs (vEb in 22edo would be vvEb in 44edo).

Notation
Ups and downs notation
44edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.
| Step offset | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sharp symbol | |||||||||||||
| Flat symbol |
Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
| Step offset | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Alternative ups and downs have sharps and flats with arrows borrowed from extended Helmholtz–Ellis notation:
| Step offset | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 |

If double arrows are not desirable, arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:

Sagittal notation
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as edos 23b, 30, and 37, and is a superset of the notations for edos 22 and 11.
Evo flavor

Revo flavor

Evo-SZ flavor

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's primary comma (the comma it exactly represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it approximately represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this edo.
