Include both harmonic and melodic notations rather than only harmonic since the distinction only matters in the "Notation' section–I might be biased here because I prefer melodic notation, but I think most will agree a neutral approach is best.

The most common way of notating this scale, particularly when working with mavila temperament, is to use the same note names and accidentals as that of diatonic (CDEFGAB, #, and b), but read as antidiatonic instead. There are, however, two ways of notating accidentals:
The most common way of notating this scale, particularly when working with mavila temperament, is to use the same note names and accidentals as that of diatonic (CDEFGAB, #, and b), but read as antidiatonic instead. There are, however, two ways of notating accidentals:


*Harmonic antidiatonic notation, where the sharps and flats of diatonic switch roles: sharps flatten and flats sharpen. This article uses this interpretation of sharps and flats.
*Harmonic antidiatonic notation, where the sharps and flats of diatonic switch roles: sharps flatten and flats sharpen.
*Melodic antidiatonic notation, where the meaning of sharps and flats is preserved: sharps sharpen and flats flatten.
*Melodic antidiatonic notation, where the meaning of sharps and flats is preserved: sharps sharpen and flats flatten.
Under this notation, the basic gamut (for D anti-dorian) is the following: {{MOS gamut|Notation=DEFGABC; b; #|Step Ratio=2/1}}
Under harmonnic antidiatonic notation, the basic gamut (for D anti-dorian) is the following: {{MOS gamut|Notation=DEFGABC; b; #|Step Ratio=2/1}}
Under melodic antidiatonic notation, the basic gamut (for D anti-dorian) is the following: {{MOS gamut|Notation=DEFGABC; #; b|Step Ratio=2/1}}
