Novaro suggest the following notation

C
C+
C#
D
D#
E
F
F+
F#
G
G+
A
A+
A#
B
C

But what is most interesting is a keyboard that instead of the 2 and then 3 black pattern we are
use to
has a picture of 1 black, then 2 blacks , then three.
One could then use a staff with that looked like this where the black notes are notated on the
lines , the white inbetween

to discover it had bone it alson of 3 blacks then 4 blacks

Both these form makes are used without accidentals.

Hmm.... I don't like notations that have different meanings for accidentals
depending on which note they're attached to. It's confusing that C# is two
steps above C, but D# is only one step above D.

But Novaro's assignment of letter names seems about as good as any for
15-ET (providing that you want to keep all seven notes ... otherwise, a
series of fifths C-G-D-A-E would do nicely ... )
