It could be easily extended to any epimorphic scale, rather than used only for MOS, but below is the original specification.

I've been working on a very simple, standardized notation scheme for any tuning system. It has standard nominals, a standard way to assign accidentals, generalizes the two-staff bass/treble clef notation, has a standard way to standardize the range of each staff, and has a standard way to set the absolute pitch of the staves (and hence the whole tuning system).

This is all now so long that nobody will ever read it, but since I'm on a roll, I'll post it anyway, at least for future reference. There's one really longwinded thing that I want to address, and that's the concept of absolute pitch standardization.
