=== Ups and downs notation ===
8edo can be notated as a subset of 24edo, using [[Ups and Downs Notation|ups and downs]]. It can also be notated as a subset of 16edo, but this is a less intuitive notation.

This is a heptatonic notation generated by 5ths (5th meaning 3/2).  
This is a heptatonic notation generated by 5ths (5th meaning 3/2). Alternative notations include pentatonic 5th-generated, octatonic, and heptatonic 2nd-generated.
 
===Sagittal notation===
This notation is a subset of the notations for EDOs [[24edo#Sagittal notation|24]], [[48edo#Sagittal notation|48]], and [[72edo#Sagittal notation|72]].

Because it contains no Sagittal symbols, this Evo-SZ Sagittal notation is also a Stein-Zimmerman notation.
 
=== Alternative notations ===
Alternative notations include pentatonic 5th-generated, octatonic, and heptatonic 2nd-generated.

=== Chord names ===
[[Ups and Downs Notation #Chords and Chord Progressions|Ups and downs]] can name any 8edo chord. Alterations are always enclosed in parentheses, additions never are. An up, down or mid immediately after the chord root affects the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and/or the 11th (every other note of a stacked-3rds chord 6-1-3-5-7-9-11-13).
