:: Now that I think about it, the Pentacircle comma (896/891) can also be given a pass for much the same reason as "Q", though in this case, I think I'd prefer a different letter from "L" just in case it turns out that we actually need "large/little" to refer to the Paramajor and Paraminor intervals due to the apotome and the parapotome not being the same size.  With this in mind, we need a more creative way of capturing what the pentacircle comma is.  Since "W" has been freed up, and since "whopper" and "weeny"- meaning "large" and "small" respectively- both start with "W", and since "W" can also stand for "weird" which is a good way of describing my sense of the way that septimal intervals interact with diatonic intervals, why not take advantage of this? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 23:56, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

== Notation and Well-Ordered Naming Systems ==
Hey, I've been trying to come up with a notation system for 159edo, and since 159edo is one of the EDOs we need to work on, I'm curious as to what you think about this proposed notation system of mine...
[[File:Quarter-accidentals-narrow-rastmic-wide.png|300px]]
# top line: narrow
# middle line: rastmic (standard)
# bottom line: wide
The above image shows the new quartertone accidentals, while the image below shows the remainder of the new accidentals.
[[File:Possible 159edo Accidentals.png|150px]]
top row from left to right:
# rastma wide
# biyatisma wide
# syntonic wide
# syntonic + rastma wide
# syntonic + byatisma wide
# double syntonic wide
bottom row from left to right:
# rastma narrow
# biyatisma narrow
# syntonic narrow
# syntonic + rastma narrow
# syntonic + byatisma narrow
# double syntonic narrow
:I hope the above accidentals make sense.  I mean, I'm trying to make my approach to this whole thing as clean and straighforward as possible. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 21:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
