==Notations that have been used for composing/performing xenharmonic music== 
===ET=== 
* [[Easley Blackwood]]'s symbols for ET's 13 through 24
* Tartini/Couper for [[31edo|31-EDO]]
* Sagittal for [[Peppermint-24]], [[17edo|17-EDO]], [[31edo|31-EDO]]
* [[Julian Carrillo]]'s index notation
* [[http://www.armodue.com/cosa.htm|Armodue]] (page in italian - english translation [[Armodue theory|here]]) for [[16edo|16-EDO]] (notation of numbers and alterations)
* [[http://www.inteas.com/Penta01.htm|The Pentadecaphonic System]] (adding the 'H' note)
* D.S. Goldsmith for [[16edo|16-EDO]]
===JI=== 
* Ben Johnston's JI notation
* Helmholtz Ellis JI notation
===Either / none of the above=== 
* [[Scordatura-tablature|Scordatura/tablature]] notation (various schemes)

==Microtonal scores!== 
* David Canright: [[http://www.redshift.com/%7Edcanright/suite/index.htm|Fibonacci Suite]] (piano retuned to 7-limit JI, seven hands)
* Kyle Gann: [[http://www.kylegann.com/LoveScene.pdf|Love Scene]] for string quartet. Gann creates tuning guides for many of his pieces, list at the bottom of [[http://www.kylegann.com/tuning.html|this page]]
* [[http://home.snafu.de/djwolf/WorksDescriptive.htm|Daniel Wolf]]: Etudes for solo microtonal instruments: scores in 8-, 9-, 13-, 14-, 17-tet for keyboards; String Quartets I and II in just intonation
* [[http://www.roberthasegawa.com|Robert Hasegawa]]: scores with quartertones and beyond
* Ron Sword - chord scale and scale notated examples 13-31, BP / various sheets

== == 
==Downloadable microtonal fonts!== 
* Ted Mook's font for notating Ezra Sims' 72-EDO notation et al. [[http://www.mindspring.com/%7Etmook/micro.html|http://www.mindspring.com/~tmook/micro.html]]
* Sagittal notation by George D. Secor & Dave Keenan. http://sagittal.org
* Helmholtz Ellis JI Notation Marc Sabat and Wolfgang von Schweinitz: http://www.plainsound.de/research/notation.pdf
* Tempera font by Christian Textier - does anyone use these crazy things? http://pros.orange.fr/christian.texier/mididesi/
* Matthew Hindson offers this font with quartertones and the like. http://www.hindson.com.au/wordpress/index.php/free-fonts-available-for-download/

==Notation program/editors for microtonal music== 
[[http://www.algomusic.com/maxscore/|MaxScore]] is an Java object for Max/MSP. It is based on Nick Didkovsky's JMSL which natively supports quarter-tone notation, but is capable of playing back microtonal music with unlimited precision. In the most recent version of MaxScore, microMaps have been implemented in the score canvas that allow the display of microtonal inflections in any kind of notation system provided that a font exists to represent those inflections. So far, microMaps for 48TET and 72TET exist. It is planned to develop an standalone editor which doesn't require any Max programming expertise.
