Erv Wilson's Linear Notations: Difference between revisions

Line 80:

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.

For accidentals, he suggests two pairs; one for positive systems, one for negative. Since there is three systems mentioned here, there are twelve total accidentals.[[File:Erv Wilson's Linear Accidentals.png|left|222x222px|The linear accidentals|thumb]]

~~For accidentals, he suggests two pairs; one for positive systems, one for negative. Since there is three systems mentioned here, there are twelve total accidentals.~~

Wilson made the accidentals mirror each other so that there would be no confusion in the sheet music, assuming one won't use positive & negative accidentals in the same piece. At this time, Wilson hadn't explored novenal (5\[[9edo|9]]) or tridecimal (8\[[13edo|13]]) accidentals, saying "''I need to experiment more with the septimally negative and quintally positive systems before expressing a view on this.''"
