'''Diamond-mos notation''' is a JI-agnostic microtonal notation system designed for writing non-diatonic [[MOS|mos]]ses, designed by members of the XA Discord. | '''Diamond-mos notation''' is a [[EDO vs ET#Temperament-agnostic EDO paradigms|JI-agnostic]] microtonal notation system designed for writing non-diatonic [[MOS|mos]]ses, designed by members of the XA Discord. | ||
So far all common microtonal notation schemes have been diatonic-based (e.g. [[ups and downs notation]], [[Sagittal]], [[FJS]]). While these existing systems are useful in many contexts, they don't accommodate the logic of non-diatonic mos scales easily, requiring multiple accidentals to write these scales. Rather than restricting the staff to representing the diatonic scale, diamond-mos notation allows the natural notes of the staff to represent the tones of any mos the composer chooses. | So far all common microtonal notation schemes have been diatonic-based (e.g. [[ups and downs notation]], [[Sagittal]], [[FJS]]).
