===Advantages and disadvantages===


One advantage of this notation is that it keeps the traditional naturals, sharps, flats, double sharps and double flats, and assigns them to values based on 3-limit JI. Thus this notation has some level of familiarity for musicians from a traditional background, while being simpler and more intuitive than the first system. This system avoids half-sharps and half-flats because the sharp and the flat are each 15 edosteps. 15 is an odd number, so there are strictly speaking no half-sharps in 159edo. It assumes a prior understanding of [[53edo]], which could be a disadvantage if one comes to 159edo directly, without first exploring 53.
