Re: 16 Edo
With its best (native) fifth, 16-edo has tone = 2 steps, apotome = -1 step, limma = 3 steps.
Because the apotome (a chain of 7 fifths) is negative, we can't use sharps or flats in a native-fifth notation for it.
Here are 4 options. [Edit: Updated to include my latest simplified-EDO-notation proposal]
