H. The notation of the 24-tone equal-temperament

Illustration: Here we have a division into halves of the 12-tone equal-temperament. The whole tone is divided into four equal parts; the semitone is divided into two equal parts, as in figures 18, 19, and 20:

Figure 18) Accidental notational signs of the 24-tone equal-temperament





Figure 19) Rules for the arrangement of the musical alphabet of the 24-tone equal-temperament





Figure 20) Rules for the enharmonic changes of the 24-tone equal-temperament




Demonstration: The 24-tone equal-temperament derives from that of the 12-tone equaltemperament and depends upon it, enriching its range and enlarging its notational function.

Conclusion: The traditional rule remains in use. The use of the 12-tone equal-temperament in place of the 24-tone equal-temperament is avoided.
