The '''letter notation''' is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[31-limit]] and some [[regular temperaments]]. It is [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] notation with the letters H-Z used as accidentals for commas in higher prime limits (starting from H to avoid conflict with note names, and skipping M to avoid conflict with the abbreviation for "major"). The rationale for using letters as accidentals is that they are ASCII-compatible, and easy to memorize if in alphabetical order. | The '''letter notation''' is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[31-limit]] and some [[regular temperaments]].
