A '''subset notation''' is a [[musical notation]] system that reuses certain elements of an existing notation system, but excludes other elements which are not necessary for a given [[tuning system]]. It allows multiple tuning systems that have common intervals to share the same notation for these intervals. It also helps avoiding issues that may arise when trying to apply [[ | A '''subset notation''' is a [[musical notation]] system that reuses certain elements of an existing notation system, but excludes other elements which are not necessary for a given [[tuning system]].

The trivial case of subset notation is 12edo subset notation for {{EDOs|1edo, 2edo, 3edo, 4edo and 6edo}}. Since these edos only include intervals which are also in 12edo, it is easy to apply standard notation to these tuning systems. | The trivial case of subset notation is 12edo subset notation for {{EDOs|1edo, 2edo, 3edo, 4edo and 6edo}}.
