<ul><li>19edo itself (in which the octave is just but the fifth significantly flat).</li><li>[[Carlos_Beta|Carlos Beta]] (in which the just perfect fifth is divided into 11 equal parts, making the octave about 12 cents sharp.</li><li>[[Phoenix|Phoenix]] (my favorite: a compromise between the two in which the just 9:5 interval is divided into 17 equal parts. Thus the octaves and the fifths are both flat but less so than in Carlos beta and 19edo respectively. The octave here is about 9 cents sharp).</li></ul>

I refer to this notation as "New Common Practice" (NCP) in that it extends the Roman numeral analysis used for common practice to a 19-tone system.
