In theory, every edo can be notated with ups and downs only. For example, in 159-edo, 11/8 above C would be ^<sup>7</sup>F. But large exponents can be avoided if the edo is multi-ring (if the circle of 5ths doesn't include every note). Ups and downs are used within a ring, and lifts and drops (/ and \, see the [[pergen]] page) are used to label each ring. 159-edo has 3 rings of 53-edo. Presumably, anyone who works with 159-edo is familiar with 53-edo, and can read the lifts and drops as small inflections of the familiar 53-edo notation. 11/8 becomes ^^/F. See the [[159edo notation#Ups-and-Downs-based notation|159edo notation]] page for the complete notation.
