Talk:159edo/Notation: Difference between revisions

Anyway, just my thoughts. :)

: Thanks for taking the time to respond. Perhaps we can file this under other ideas for notating 159edo... Yes, I do fancy the idea of sticking to HEJI and Mainstream Quartertones, at least for the main accidentals, and for the record, I *can* actually pronounce note names such as "D-Sesquiflat". Nevertheless, it's good to see that we both agree that there's a need for more than one set of accidental symbols on larger EDOs. I realize you dislike the idea of the demisharp and demiflat symbols being mapped to 7 steps when sharp and flat are mapped to 15, and you have every right not to like that, but dare I point out that we have a similar problem in 5-limit Just Intonation where two [[25/24]] chromatic semitones add up to less than a proper whole tone, let alone a proper double sharp, so that objection doesn't exactly sit well with me. On another note, now that you have pointed out the problems with stacking the darts, I think that means we'll just have have to get more creative. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 04:59, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
