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]

16-edo using native fifth (as in the XH article): D D D E E E E E F F F 16-edo using 12-edo fifth, as a subset of 48-edo (the alternative in the XH article): D D D D E E E E E F F F F 16edo using native fifth and previously-proposed limma-fraction symbols: D D D E E E E F F F 16edo using native fifth and my currently-proposed limma-fraction symbols: D D D E E E E F F F
