What's sophisticated about it? You understand staff notation don't you?
There are 7 notes (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) and 2 things you can do to
them. I decimal notation, there are 10 notes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8 and 9) and still 2 things you can do to them (^ and v or > and <
depending on which page you look at).

The 10 notes are this scale in 72-equal:

0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 9

The ^,v,>,< or whatever tell you to move by 2 steps of 72-equal.
