Notation

We require good notation. y, z, Y and Z are placeholders.

It should be in ASCII, so that it can easily be typed on a keyboard. ASCII includes:

 !"#$%&'()*+,-./
0123456789:;<=>?
@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_
`abcdefghijklmno
pqrstuvwxyz{|}~

The symbols should also only consist of one character. This is for convenience in certain situations, such as a music editor which has a compact view of the notes with 3 characters (base letter, modifier, octave number). PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

  • (+,-) , (^,v) , (/,\) have all been used as up/down inflections in various notation systems, and are easy to type. Some people have very strong opinions about notation, but I think it's fine to use any symbols you like, as long as you define them clearly and use them consistently!
