When using 5L 2s in an edo where t/d are one edostep, we encourage using t/d instead of ^/v. This is to increase consistency with existing microtonal notation, such as notation for 17edo, 24edo, and 31edo. The same rule does not apply to e/a semi-moschroma accidentals.

A subtle but important feature of the standard is that accidentals are separate from each other and do not stack. If a note has an accidental in front, that accidental overrides any preceding accidentals. For example, if a note with a # is followed by a note with an ^, the sharp on the previous note does not apply to the new note.
