In musical notations that use the cycle of fifths and fourths along with seven note names, such as the [[ups and downs notation]], the limma is represented by the distances between B and C, as well as between E and F.
In musical notations that use the cycle of fifths and fourths along with seven note names, such as the [[ups and downs notation]], the limma is represented by the distances between B and C, as well as between E and F.


In musical notations that use the cycle of fifths and fourths with seven note names, such as the ups and downs notation, the limma is an important interval. The scale is structured with the following step pattern:
The scale is structured with the following step pattern:
 
     A to B: [[whole tone]]
     A to B: whole tone
     B to C: [[limma]]
     B to C: limma
     C to D: [[whole tone]]
     C to D: whole tone
     D to E: [[whole tone]]
     D to E: whole tone
     E to F: [[limma]]
     E to F: limma
     F to G: [[whole tone]]
     F to G: whole tone
     G to A: [[whole tone]]
     G to A: whole tone
This pattern highlights the placement of the limma intervals between B and C, and E and F, distinguishing them from the [[whole tone]] that occur between the other note pairs.
