In this kind of music notation, one just tries to extend the LilyPond is a powerful and flexible tool for engraving tasks of all kinds. So then one needs to more accidentals to go Reason is that different division of the perfect fourth leads to Suffices in Farhat's description of Persian music (sori and koron).įor Turkish music, one needs the "dual" neutral n' := M - n the M, one needs accidentals to go from m to n, and from M to n. Now, inspired by Hormoz Farhat's thesis on Persian music, I extended But also others, like the Bohlen-Pierce scale in It prints music in the best traditions of classical engraving with minimum fuss.

Generated by p m + q M, where p, q are integers. The Western musical notation system is limited to what I call aĭiatonic pitch system (as "extended meantone" suggest certainįor a major second M and minor second m, this is the system of pitches The Helmholtz-Ellis notation more easy to read (signs differ more, Provides a single sign for each comma combination. (e.g., even comma fractions for adaptive just intonation), and also The Sagittal notation allows for an even more fine-grained tuning LilyPond is a free, open-source application that supports displaying and printing music in alternative music notation systems. I assume this experience led to theĭevelopment of the Pythagorean-based approach of the Helmholtz. However, as the notation is less uniform music not Just Intonation Network), where some intervalsīetween nominals are Pythagorean (e.g., C G) and others are a just This is in contrast, for example, to the older just intonation The Sagittal notation ( ) follows exactly the same idea. Multiple comma-Īccidentals can be freely combined for notating arbitrary just OtherĪccidentals detune this Pythagorean by commas etc. #, b, x, bb) denote a spiral of Pythagorean fifths.
