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 #<sup>1/2</sup> 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. | 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.
