Hello!

I am looking for information and knowledge about how to play in different
tuning-modes ( fx. pythagorian-mode ) on string-instruments, and also
methods of teaching the same to young string-students. As far as I know
there has been very little research on this subject, so I am happy if anyone
can contribute to my investigation.

Yours Sincerely
Andreas Torgersen

There are several notation systems out there, but one that's fairly
common could be described thus:

Quarter Sharp regular old sharp minus one of its near-vertical lines.

3/4 Sharp regular old sharp with a third near-vertical line.

quarter flat a backward regular flat (i.e., kinda like a "d" instead of a "b")

3/4 flat regular and quarterflats with a common vertical stem, or to describe
it another way, it's like a heart with a tall stem pointing out the
top.
