This page introduces a proposed notation system centering the [[5L 7s]] chromatic scale. For the meantone chromatic scale [[7L 5s]], there are two approches to use this system, just like using the standard notation system for the [[2L 5s|antidiatonic]] scale.
This page introduces a proposed notation system centering the [[5L 7s]] chromatic scale. This system is suitable for temperaments with consonant intervals far away in the [[chain of fifths]], such as [[schismatic]]. More naturals is usually unnecessary, since the [[12-comma]] is much smaller than the [[256/243|limma]] in JI. For the meantone chromatic scale [[7L 5s]], there are two approches to use this system, in anology to using the standard notation system for the [[2L 5s|antidiatonic]] scale.

The names according to [[quasi-diatonic MOS notation]] are not intuitional, so different names are given here. “Sem” stands for “'''semi'''tone”.

Latin letters ABCDEFG and Greek letters αβγδε are used. Latin letters represent the same notes as diatonic. Each Greek letter represents the note a chroma below the note marked with the corresponding Latin letter. Ups and downs are used for altering [[Pythagorean comma]]s.

A 7-lined or 9-lined staff is prefered. To improve legibility, the lines can alter between thin and thick ones. The note C, E and α should be on thick lines.
