On page 120 of Gardner Read's "20th Century Microtonal Notation" I note that
both my notation and George Secor's notation are printed. We both use the
same quartertone sharps and differ only in a preference for quartertone flats.
This page represents only quartertones for us both.

On p. 143, Read writes:

"George Secor's version of the 41-tone scale in equal temperament is far more
simple in its notational design that that devised by Wilson; Secor has merely
extended his suggested notation for the 31-tone gamut by adding in a logical
manner modifications of is previously utilized symbols."

Following the above quote is George Secor: New Scales which includes further
divisions of pitch with corresponding new notations.
