VERY WIP (I'll move it to the main namespace if it's finished.)
The letter comma notation (LCN) is a notation scheme developed by CompactStar for just intonation up to the 101-limit as well as regular temperaments based on it. As with other JI notations, it is based on 3-limit notation with a set of accidentals corresponding to a formal comma for each prime limit. Letters are used as these accidentals–capital letters are ascending and lowercase letters are descending.
