He has developed several notation systems, not only typable and staff notation but also spoken and sung notation:

His [[Kite's_color_notation|color notation]] represents each prime ~~up to 19-limit~~ via 1 or 2 colors (2 = clear, 3 = ~~white~~, 5 = ~~yellow~~ for ~~otonal~~ and ~~green~~ for utonal, 7 = ~~blue~~ and ~~red~~, etc.). Combined with standard diatonic notation, any ratio can be expressed as a color plus a degree, e.g. "~~blue~~ third" for 7/6. There is a rigorous one-to-one correspondence between ratios and color notation, making it ideal for JI. But it can also be applied to temperaments and EDOs, since ratios are often used to refer to intervals in such tunings.

His [[Kite's_color_notation|color notation]] represents each prime via 1 or 2 colors (2 = clear, 3 = wa, 5 = yo for 5-over and gu for utonal, 7 = zo and ru, etc.). Combined with standard diatonic notation, any ratio can be expressed as a color plus a degree, e.g. "zo third" for 7/6. There is a rigorous one-to-one correspondence between ratios and color notation, making it ideal for JI.

His da-ro-mu is a form of solfege that uses the traditional consonants of do-re-mi but replaces the vowels with "color vowels" (a = ~~white~~, e = ~~red~~, i = ~~green~~, o = ~~yellow~~ and u = ~~blue~~). Thus 5/3 - 14/9 - 3/2 is "Lo Lu Sa".

His da-re-mu is a form of solfege that uses the traditional consonants of do-re-mi but replaces the vowels with "color vowels" (a = wa, e = yo, i = ru, o = gu and u = zo). Thus 5/3 - 14/9 - 3/2 is "Le Lu Sa".

His [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|ups and downs notation]] represents every key in an EDO. The standard seven letters and the standard sharp and flat is used to represent the chain of fifths. For EDOs in which 7 fifths octave-reduce to one EDOstep (12edo, 19edo, etc.) this is sufficient. For other EDOs, the up symbol "^" and the down symbol "v" represent raising and lowering the pitch by one EDOstep. For example, in 22-edo, 7 fifths = 3 EDOsteps, and 22edo would be written:
