Equivalent pitch classes, such as enharmonic equivalents, are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation, or C and B# being equivalent. This is to ensure note names have as few accidentals as possible.
Equivalent pitch classes, such as enharmonic equivalents, are currently limited to pitches that fall at the exact midpoint of two other pitches, such as C# and Db being equivalent in standard notation, or C and B# being equivalent. This is to ensure note names have as few accidentals as possible.


Other means of notation, such as using ups and downs or half-accidentals, are currently not supported.
Accidentals smaller than a chroma, such as [[ups and downs notation|ups and downs]] or half-accidentals, are currently not supported. An example of such usage is 5L 2s in 31edo, where Dbb may be notated as ^C (up-C) or Ct (C half-sharp).


If a step ratio is entered without being simplified, the edo (or ed{{angbr|equave|}}) displayed will reflect that by being a larger division of the equave. An example of this is 5L 2s in 24edo, whose step ratio is 4/2. However, notation for the additional notes, which may be notated using ups and downs, are currently not added for the sake of keeping the output simple.
<pre>{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 5/3}}</pre>
{{MOS gamut|Scale Signature = 5L 2s|Step Ratio = 5/3}}
