The '''letter comma notation''' (LCN) is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[101-limit]] as well as [[regular temperament]]s based on it. It is based on [[3-limit]] notation with the letters H-Y used as accidentals representing higher-limit [[comma]]s (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]].
The '''letter comma notation''' (LCN) is a notation scheme developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] for [[just intonation]] up to the [[101-limit]] as well as [[regular temperament]]s based on it. As with other JI notations, it is based on [[3-limit]] notation with a set of accidentals corresponding to a formal comma for each prime limit. Letters are used as these accidentals–capital letters are ascending and lowercase letters are descending.
