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?

:Yes. A sharp is 7 fifths up, a diesis down is 12 fifths up, and a kleisma up is 19 fifths up. A diesis and kleisma added together are a sharp. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 07:06, 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{|}~

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). PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- (+,-) , (^,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? Mike Battaglia (talk) 06:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. A sharp is 7 fifths up, a diesis down is 12 fifths up, and a kleisma up is 19 fifths up. A diesis and kleisma added together are a sharp. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 07:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
