=== Advantages and disadvantages ===


Among the advantages of this system is the fact that it keeps the traditional naturals, sharps, flats, double sharps and double flats, and assigns them to values based on 3-limit JI, resulting in this system having some level of familiarity for musicians from a traditional background.  However, the disadvantages of this system are that this system relies on multiple accidental symbols combined into one glyph, which results in said accidentals having to be deciphered, and furthermore, the arrangement of combined and simple accidentals- as well as arrangement of the quartertone accidentals- is counterintuitive.
