VERY WIP (I'll move it to the main namespace if it's finished.)

The letter comma notation (LCN) is a notation scheme developed by CompactStar for just intonation up to the 101-limit as well as regular temperaments based on it. It is based on 3-limit notation with the letters H-Y used as accidentals representing higher-limit commas (starting from H to avoid conflict with note names). Each comma is associated to a prime limit and uses 2 letters, one for the ascending accidental and one for the descending accidental. It bears some similarities to SKULO interval names and the Functional Just System.
