=== Ups and downs notation ===
Assuming the natural notes form a [[chain of fifths]], the major 2nd is 8 edosteps and the minor 2nd is only one. The naturals create a [[5edo]]-like scale, with two of the notes inflected by a [[comma]]-sized edostep:

D# is next to E. The notation requires triple ups and downs, even more if chords are to be spelled correctly. For example, a 1/1 - 5/4 - 3/2 - 9/5 chord with a root on the key or fret midway between G and A would be written either as v<sup>3</sup>G# - v<sup>5</sup>B# - v<sup>3</sup>D# - vF# or as ^<sup>3</sup>Ab - ^C - ^<sup>3</sup>Eb - ^<sup>5</sup>Gb. This is a dud dup-seven chord, written either as v<sup>3</sup>G#vv,^^7 or as ^<sup>3</sup>Abvv,^^7.

===Sagittal notation===
====Best fifth notation====
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[35edo#Second-best fifth notation|35b]].

====Second-best fifth notation====
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[47edo#Sagittal notation|47-EDO]], and is a superset of the notations for EDOs [[21edo#Sagittal notation|21]], [[14edo#Sagittal notation|14]], and [[7edo#Sagittal notation|7]].
