Diatonic accidentals are what you’d expect. # raises a note by a diatonic chroma, the difference between the diatonic whole tone and semitone. b lowers a note by the same amount. x and bb are the doublings of those. Half-sharp (t) and half-flat (d) represent changes of half a diatonic chroma, and are only allowed if #/b represent an even number of edosteps.

Mos accidentals are similar to diatonic accidentals, but for non-diatonic mosses. Mos accidentals are based on the specific mos used. & raises a note by a moschroma, the difference between the large mosstep (L) and the small mosstep (s). @ lowers a note by the same amount. e and a represent half of & and @ respectively, and are only allowed if &/@ represent an even number of edosteps.
Mos accidentals are similar to diatonic accidentals, but for non-diatonic mosses. Mos accidentals are based on the specific mos used. & (read "am") raises a note by a moschroma, the difference between the large mosstep (L) and the small mosstep (s). @ (read "at") lowers a note by the same amount. e and a represent half of & and @ respectively, and are only allowed if &/@ represent an even number of edosteps.


The third type of accidentals are ups and downs. ^ raises by one edostep and v lowers by one edostep. There are double and triple versions, ^^/vv and ^^^/vvv, which represent movements of two and three edosteps respectively. Ups and downs can be combined with the other two types to create compound accidentals, such as ^# and vv@.
