Not only does Dodeka write music in a simple and more intuitive manner, but it also offers a more compelling way to write microtonal or xenharmonic music.
While the conventional music notation is limited to a twelve-note division, Dodeka expand the musical resolution by making it possible to divide the span of an an octave into 48 small intervals, or microtones.
To capture and write notes that are outside the Western tuning and its so called twelve-tone equal temperament (12-TET), Dodeka introduces a microtonal mode, where microtones can be represented through four specific angles - 10°, 20° and 30° respectively - to indicate pitch variations.
