Fractional sharp notation: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

The '''fractional sharp notation''' (FSN) is a notation developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] that is an extension of [[chain-of-fifths notation]], supporting almost all [[EDO]]s and several [[rank-2 temperament]] systems. It represents all intervals with conventional accidentals, but with sharps and flats extended to have an arbitrary rational amount, denoted by a superscript, such as #1/2 for half-sharp, except for in the case of single and double accidentals. If ASCII compatibility is required, superscripts can be substituted for carets–in this case, #^(a/b) is preferred over #^a/b for clarity.

#a/b is always taken to raise by a/b chromatic semitones, and ba/b is always taken to lower by a/b chromatic semitones. The "augmented" and "diminished" qualifiers are also extended to arbitrary rational amounts.

<nowiki>#</nowiki>a/b is always taken to raise by a/b chromatic semitones, and ba/b is always taken to lower by a/b chromatic semitones. The "augmented" and "diminished" qualifiers are also extended to arbitrary rational amounts.
