The symbols should also only consist of one character. This is for convenience in certain situations, such as a music editor which has a compact view of the notes with 3 characters (base letter, modifier, octave number).

* (+,-) , (^,v) , (/,\) have all been used as up/down inflections in various notation systems, and are easy to type.  Some people have very strong opinions about notation, but I think it's fine to use any symbols you like, as long as you define them clearly and use them consistently!

Well, right now, you can get a diesis by just going from E# to F. But I like ^ and v for quarter tones (used in HEWM notation), and wouldn't mind using them for the diesis as well. So you would have Fv = E#. I don't like / and \ because I always forget which is which.
Then if you want the thing I was calling a kleisma (sometimes called a "lesser diesis"), I think that would be interval between E and E#v, right? [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 06:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Notation

We require good notation. y, z, Y and Z are placeholders.

It should be in ASCII, so that it can easily be typed on a keyboard. ASCII includes:

 !"#$%&'()*+,-./
0123456789:;<=>?
@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_
`abcdefghijklmno
pqrstuvwxyz{|}~
