Details

Even in 2023, code often breaks when given characters outside the 7-bit international standard. So we don't even have flats, let alone half-flats, half-sharps, naturals, or any of the other symbols alternate tuning theorists have proposed.

So for scales created with equal divisions of the octave, we use a "/b" for a half-flat, "b" for a flat, "bb" for a double-flat, /#" for a half-sharp, "#" for a sharp. and "##" for a double-sharp. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
