: I would argue that ups and downs have gotten consensus in the community that goes beyond the rules of your original standard.

If people use ups and downs one way or the other, they can clarify their use by saying which standard they're using.

I wanted to know, why does diatonic use standard notation (ABC, #/b) while non-diatonic uses different notation (J, &/@)? It can't be for distinctiveness purposes because everything non-diatonic uses identical notation. So if a lot of MOSes will be sharing the same notation anyway, we could reduce confusion by using the "ABC" notation for both diatonic and non-diatonic MOS. | |||

Just glancing at this, haven't read through it yet. Perhaps ^ could be called "caret" and v could be "vee", analogous to am and at. This might help avoid confusion with my usage of ups and downs. --TallKite (talk) 03:59, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Special status of diatonic
I wanted to know, why does diatonic use standard notation (ABC, #/b) while non-diatonic uses different notation (J, &/@)? It can't be for distinctiveness purposes because everything non-diatonic uses identical notation. So if a lot of MOSes will be sharing the same notation anyway, we could reduce confusion by using the "ABC" notation for both diatonic and non-diatonic MOS.
