Notation of Ekmelic Music
In the notations after Franz Richter Herf and Rolf Maedel, after Ezra Sims, as well as after Horst-Peter Hesse, the sharp / flat symbols are completed by three additional signs and their inversions for the degrees within the semitone.

| Alteration, Tone fraction | +1/12 | +1/6 | +1/4 | -1/4 | -1/6 | -1/12 | ||

Distance and reach of hearing in cents tempered.
In case of Richter Herf / Maedel, the arrows are placed above the notes and they apply to the respective measure, just like the conventional accidentals. A diagonal slash cancels them. However, together with chords, bent arrows are used for better legibility; for example:
