Fox–Raven notation

The Fox-Raven notation is an absolute pitch-based notation for oneirotonic and smitonic.

Concept and Score

This is an oneirotonic/smitonic notation for oneirotonic or smitonic edos, tailored to AP hearers.

The score should include the text "This score uses the Fox-Raven notation standard. Visit xen.wiki for more information." This ensures that someone reading the score can easily find information about how to read it.

Pitch standard

• N = V = standard middle C = 261.6255653 Hz
• Middle J = middle R = major 4-mosstep above N = middle C

Note names

JKLMNOPQ = Ultharian (4|3, LSLLSLSL) mode of oneiro

RSTUVXY = Kagrenacan (2|4, SLLSLSL) mode of smitonic

The enharmonic equivalences that define each respective oneirotonic edo are:

• 13edo: K# = L
• 18edo: K# = Mb
• 21edo: K# = Lb
• 31edo: Kx = Nbb
• 34edo: Kx = Mbb

The enharmonic equivalences that define each respective oneirotonic edo are:

• 15edo: R# = Tb
• 18edo: R# = Sb
• 26edo: R# = Ubb
• 29edo: R# = Tbb
