A '''fractional-3-limit notation''' is a kind of musical notation built on a [[chain-of-fifths notation]], used for notating [[EDOs]] when the EDO has no good mapping from just intonation, or to avoid favoring one such mapping over another. Fractional-3-limit notations may be contrasted with other kinds of chain-of-fifths notation for EDOs, such as the ''JI-based notations'' used for EDOs with good fifths in the [[Sagittal]] system, and the ''step-count notations'' used in the [[Ups and Downs]] system.
A '''fractional-3-limit notation''' is a kind of musical notation built on a [[chain-of-fifths notation]] and used for notating [[EDOs]] when the EDO has no obvious mapping from just intonation, while preserving the notation of subsets. Fractional-3-limit notations may be contrasted with two other kinds of chain-of-fifths notation for EDOs: ''JI-based notations'' like [[Sagittal]] which assume specific mappings, and ''step-count notations'' like [[Ups and Downs]] which do not preserve the notation of subsets. Examples of ''JI-based notations'' are the [[Sagittal]] notations used for EDOs with good fifths. Examples of ''step-count notations'' are [[Ups and Downs]] notations.
