Equave raise/drop considered hazardous?

ask me for EDO reccs > 31 — Today at 6:40 PM

do you use backticks in the language?

Not yet. Might use them like XenPaper for equave drops.

i think that's sort of a bad idea honestly cuz i think they look too similar
also cuz then u need to use ' for equave raise which seems very problematic
another reason is that this leads to counterintuitive notation imo
like when you think "ok what's a major third below the major second in 31 EDO" you think "5 - 10" so you think it should be (backtick)5 but that's wrong cuz it should be (backtick)26
i know it has advantages in some situations but i think it's more intuitive to preserve negatives being the negative of positives
the most important advantage is easily revoicing chords
either way i think it shouldnt use ` and ' for the reasons above
