=== Equave names ===
 
A table of what the equave is called based on how many steps it contains, using number prefixes analogous to the Latin numbers used to name -illions. This is distinct from the Greek numbers used to name harmonics, as the term "octave" comes from Latin:

=== Optimal clefs ===
This is the table of optimal clef layouts to be analogous to the treble and bass clef for scales with different sizes. This assumes that A3 is the top line of the bass clef. Preferably, the second line from the bottom of the staff is used as the treble clef, and the second line from the top is used as the bass clef, except when that would cause a clef with an ottava which could be avoided by using a different line for the clef indicator.

For ternary systems, sharps and flats can be given subscripts or superscripts indicating what diesis is being sharpened or flattened by.
