I intend for this to become a little manifesto for Ultimate, so any (goodwilled) editing towards making the points come across and convince people will be more than welcome. | |||

{{EDOs|12e, 41, 53, 94, 217, 270, 311}} are all part of the same rank-3 tuning, so it allows a piece or a production to be written using the notation, which encodes the same mappings. Of course, using the notation to its fullest extent only makes sense for the finer 217, 270, 311.

They all work much the same way. They can be written with sharps/flats, ↑/'''↓''' for the pomas, ⇑/'''⇓''' for doubled pomas, and the adition of ^/v for the minicomma, taken directly from the [[Kite's ups and downs notation|ups-and-downs notation.]] This is completely unfeasible to use with a Lumatone, with any acoustic instrument, isomorphically; though, it can still be used in a DAW without much problem. Because ultimate is rank-3, the layout is 3D and thus it is impossible to play on a flat surface, requiring some sort of eldritch holographic "keyspace". | They all work much the same way.

217edo could ''in theory'' be used with binary valve or key systems in woodwinds, granted they have the intonation precision to reliably hit pitches within a maximum error of 2.7649 cents. Which I know won't happen. Best course would be to tune the instrument to 31edo plus a slide to nudge everything into the right place, but that's not | 217edo could ''in theory'' be used with binary valve or key systems in woodwinds, granted they have the intonation precision to reliably hit pitches within a maximum error of 2.7649 cents.
