There seems to be somewhat less standardization of notation for nonoctave scales compared to octave-equivalent scales. So, here I will outline some notations for nonoctave scales, largely based on ups and downs notation and TAMNAMS, with the most common periods (e.g. 3/2, 3/1, 4/1) being prioritized.
3/2-equivalent notation
3/1-equivalent notation
For no-twos scales, we can apply the Pythagorean principle of using the next highest prime number as the generator, and use 5/3 (rather than 3/2)-generated notation.
