When writing a note name, the nominal is given first, then the accidentals are listed in order from smallest to largest, then the octave number: e.g. M^db4 in 36edo means M4 altered by ^ (1\36) + d (-2\36) + b (-4\36), that is M4 flattened by 5\36. | When writing a note name, the nominal is given first, then the accidentals are listed in order from smallest to largest, then the octave number: e.g. M^db4 in 36edo means M4 altered by ^ (1\36) + d (-2\36) + b (-4\36), that is M4 flattened by 5\36. | ||
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 fully overrides any preceding accidentals.''' For example, if a K with a # is followed by a K with only an ^, the second note is K^, not K^#. | |||
