After much consideration and a bit of chatting on discord I've come to the following conclusion: None of the existing JI notations is perfectly suited for this project, so I will do something of my own. Logically it's basically gonna be "FJS but with other symbols (and maybe a different functional comma for prime 17)".
In other words: I'm gonna eventually spend a little time learning FontForge and draw in some nice accidentals.
Considering:
Sharps and flats (and doubles of those) for prime 3.
Plus/minus for prime 5.
Stylized seven/upside down same for prime 7.
Arrows for 11 maybe?
Other arrows for 13?
And then I dunno. Borrow ideas from existing places I guess.
So "BJN symbols but with FJS logic". That is, pyth as the baseline, not zarlino (which doesn't make sense to me).
Once that's in, make a more advanced layout which distributes the accidentals nicely in each sphere. Big letter, slightly smaller sharp/flat a bit sunken, even smaller pluses/minuses a bit above. I think that'll look nice.
Oh and another idea, as we travel further away (say past double sharps/flats), don't stack sharps/flats but instead show a subscipt number saying how many there are.
Checklist for prime designs/choices:
7
11
13
17
19
23
13/11?
11/7?
13/7?
