* naturals on a five-line staff, with enharmonics (used interchangably) E=F and B=C

* a four-line hybrid treble/bass staff.

Intervals can be named penta-2nd, penta-3rd, penta-4th, penta-5th and octave.

[[Kite Giedraitis]] has proposed a pentatonic ~~notation~~ that ~~retains~~ the appearance of heptatonic names, to avoid the confusion caused by one's lifelong association of "fourth" with 4/3, not 3/2. The interval names are unisoid, subthird, fourthoid, fifthoid, subseventh and octoid, or 1d s3 4d 5d s7 8d. When notating larger edos such as 8 or 13, there are major or minor sub3rds and sub7ths. Note that 15/8 is an octoid.

Note that 15/8 is an octoid.

For note names, Kite merges E and F into a new letter, "eef" (rhymes with leaf). Written like an E, but with the bottom horizontal line going not right but left from the vertical line. The notes run G A C D Eef G. Eef, like E, is a 5th above A. Eef, like F, is a 4th above C. The circle of 5ths is C G D A Eef C.
