== Helmholtz-Ellis-based notation ==

The [[159edo]]-notation system proposed by [[User:Aura|Aura]] modifies the [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] in such a way that undecimal quartertones play a central role alongside the traditional accidentals. This is because undecimal quartertones are actually useful in modulation to keys that are not on the same circle of fifths, while being simultaneously within an unnoticeable comma's distance from the quartertone of [[24edo]], which many musicians outside the microtonal community proper are at least somewhat familiar with. This in turn results in mainstream quartertone accidentals being used to represent the undecimal quartertones. It should be noted that most of the symbols listed on this page derive their functions from JI, though the dart symbols in particular have the potential to see usage in later versions of [[Ups and Downs notation]]. In addition, it should be noted that accidentals are not just modifiers for single notes, but signs that indicate the change of both the tonal and modal base, and can thus appear in key signatures.
