Notations: added the modern (as opposed to the classical) version of the ups and downs accidentals

=== Ups and downs notation ===
Spoken as up, downsharp, sharp, upsharp, etc. Note that downsharp can be respelled as dup (double-up), and upflat as dud.
{{sharpness-sharp3a}}
Using [[Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals, 50edo can also be notated using [[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-3|alternative ups and downs]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp3}}
Here, a sharp raises by three steps, and a flat lowers by three steps, so arrows can be used to fill in the gap. If the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings, some notes may be best spelled with double arrows.
=== Sagittal notation ===
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[57edo#Sagittal notation|57]], [[64edo#Sagittal notation|64]], and [[71edo#Second-best fifth notation|71b]].

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.
