The '''Helmholtz–Ellis JI pitch notation''' ('''HEJI''') is a [[musical notation]] system for [[just intonation]] intervals up to the [[47-limit]]. It consists of a set of [[Nominal-accidental chain|accidentals]] defined by formal commas for each [[prime harmonic]].

Further accidentals were designed by [[richie]] for primes up to the [[89-limit]]; see [[richie's HEJI extensions]].
