i realize that you and Alison (and probably anyone
else who's written anything in blackjack) are using
the adapted-Sims 72tET notation, but don't forget
about Graham's excellent decimal notation for it,
which i adapted to a 4-line staff, as shown in my
blackjack page:

http://sonic-arts.org/monzo/blackjack/blackjack.htm

(and then there's also my 72edo-HEWM notation ...)

Yes, and don't forget I've written music in Blackjack with it as well!

***Well, yes, Grahm's notation is the most *direct* from a
theoretical point of view... maybe great for describing *electronic*
pieces, but getting players to play it is another thing!

I'm even having trouble getting players to play 72-tET!

best,

***Yes, we want to make sure we include Graham in the "Blackjack
composer" list.... I believe his work with this is been exclusively
electronic...
