Although the positive & negative notations of each family are part of the same system, they require different treatments in order to stay melodically consistent. Thus, there are different nominal systems for each kind of system. He gives four examples:

Wilson mentions that its possible to use a traditional staff with seven nominals due to tradition, though he mentions that it would be better to use the duodecimal system for more complex works.
