 === Porcupine Notation (Heptatonic) ===
-[To be added later]
+Porcupine notation can be based on the Porcupine[7] Lssssss scale using standard notation. By representing the 3|3 mode (sssLsss) with D E F G A B C D and using sharps and flats (#/b) to represent a step up or down respectively, 15edo can be notated in a similar fashion to the diatonic scale. Its intervals can likewise be named with respect to diatonic intervals.

+One neat thing about using this notation system is that its notated major scale, D E F# G A B C# D, directly corresponds to 15edo’s LH Nice-Ionian scale.
 === Porcupine Notation (Octatonic) ===
 Porcupine notation can also be based on the porcupine[8] LLLLLLLs scale using eight nominals: α β χ δ ε φ γ η. Others have proposed ABCDEFGHA, but conflicts with european notation have caused many to reject this approach. Thus greek letters can be used in their place with a close resemblance to the spelling of ABCDEFGHA. The letters are not in greek alphabetic order.
