[[File:Septimally negative.png|thumb|351x351px|Septimally negative|left]][[File:Doudecimally positive notation.png|thumb|424x424px|Duodecimally positive]]Wilson mentions that its possible to use a traditional staff with seven nominals due to tradition, though he mentions that it would be better to use the duodecimal system for more complex works.

[[File:Erv Wilson's Linear Accidentals.png|left|222x222px|The linear accidentals|thumb]]For accidentals, he suggests two pairs; one for positive systems, one for negative. Since there is three systems mentioned here, there are twelve total accidentals.[[File:A System of Fluctuating Nominal Systems.png|thumb|A graph to show the evolution of nominals in different systems]]

Wilson made the accidentals mirror each other so that there would be no confusion in the sheet music, assuming one won't use positive & negative accidentals in the same piece. At this time, Wilson hadn't explored novenal (5\[[9edo|9]]) or tridecimal (8\[[13edo|13]]) accidentals, saying "''I need to experiment more with the septimally negative and quintally positive systems before expressing a view on this.''"
