The 159edo-notation system proposed by [[User:Aura|Aura]] modifies the [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] in such a way that undecimal quartertones play a central role alongside the traditional accidentals.  It should be noted that most of the symbols listed on this chart derive their functions from JI, though the dart symbols in particular have the potential to see usage in later versions of [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|Ups and Downs notation]].

The following table (under construction) shows the symbols and describes their function. The terms in the glyph name sections reflect absolute displacements, <code>-</code> means down, <code>+</code> means up.  Furthermore, symbols with multiple names will have both names sharing the same cell.  The choice between the primary and secondary glyphs for any given step is often determined both by absolute TE error and by harmonic and melodic context for any given score, particularly as the primary and secondary glyphs reflect different intervals in Just Intonation.
