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

===Ups and downs notation===
32edo can be notated with [[ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, dupflat etc. Note that dudsharp is equivalent to trup (triple-up) and dupflat is equivalent to trud (triple-down).
{{Sharpness-sharp5a}}
Another notation uses [[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-5|alternative ups and downs]]. Here, this can be done using sharps and flats with arrows, borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:

81edo accidentals created and used by [[Tom Winspear]], based on those provided in [[Scala]] though with a logic correction. The innermost accidentals represent one edostep, followed by two, then the bracket representing three. Conventional sharp/doublesharp/flat/doubleflat accidentals are reached in steps of five and the pattern repeats itself on them. The chromatic scale can be notated utilizing only six accidentals in either direction—the rest are for enharmonics.

The innermost accidentals represent one edostep, followed by two, then the bracket representing three. What appears to be a half-sharp is actually a fifth-sharp. Conventional sharp/doublesharp/flat/doubleflat accidentals are reached in steps of five and the pattern repeats itself on them. The chromatic scale can be notated utilizing only six accidentals in either direction—the rest are for enharmonics.
 
=== Ups and downs notation ===
[[Ups and downs notation]] uses free-standing arrows, but the arrows can be connected to conventional accidentals using [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation|Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp5}}
Here, a sharp raises by five steps, and a flat lowers by five steps, so single and double arrows can be used to fill in the gap. If the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings, then in some cases certain notes may be best spelled with triple arrows.
