=== 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 too many accidentals, a number of which need to be deciphered, and furthermore, the arrangement of combined and simple accidentals- as well as arrangement of the quartertone accidentals- is counterintuitive.
