An easy way of notating 36edo (at least for people who aren't colorblind) is to use colors. For example, **A** is 33.333 cents above **A** and 33.333 cents below **A**. Or the colors could be written out (red A, blue C#, etc.)

Because of the presence of blue notes, and the closeness with which intervals such as 4:7 are matched, 36edo is an ideal scale to use for African-American styles of music such as blues and jazz, in which chords containing the seventh harmonic are frequently used. The 5th and 11th harmonic fall almost halfway in between scale degrees of 36edo, and thus intervals containing them can be approximated two different ways, one of which is significantly sharp and the other significantly flat. The 333.333-cent interval (the "red major third") sharply approximates 5:4 and flatly approximates 9:11, for instance. However, 10:11 and 11:15 ~~are~~ both ~~approximated uniquely,~~ and ~~very closely~~.

The 333.333-cent interval (the "red major third") sharply approximates 5:6 and flatly approximates 9:11, for instance, whereas the sharp 9:11 is 366.667 cents and the flat 5:6 is 300 cents. However, 10:11 and 11:15 each have a single (very close) approximation since they contain both the 5th and 11th harmonic.

36edo is fairly cosmopolitan because many other genres of world music can be played in it too. Because it contains 9edo as a subset, pelog (and mavila) easily adapt to it. Slendro can be approximated in several different ways. 36edo can function as a "bridge" between these genres and Western music. Arabic music does not adapt as well, however, since many versions contain quarter tones.
