7-tone equal tempered scale represented in traditional notation. + and - indicates approximate distance above and below notated pitch. Pitch bend matches intervals.

16-tet scale on C (75 cent steps). Easley Blackwood, Jr.'s notation for 16 equal temperament. Intervals are notated similarly to those they approximate and there are fewer enharmonic equivalents. MIDI pitch bend appears to match intervals (0,56, etc.).
21-tet scale on C (57.14 cent steps). Easley Blackwood, Jr.'s notation for 21 equal temperament. Intervals are notated similarly to those they approximate and there are distinct enharmonic equivalents (E-sharp-down = F-down). MIDI pitch bend matches intervals.
*256 tone = 1 step in 768-tet on C. Equal-tempered: 21/(6*128):1 = 1.56 cents cents. MIDI pitch bend: 64,32 on m2 The 1023rd subharmonic is 1.69 cents, and Sibelius's pitch bend commands are not fine enough to distinguish between these two intervals, as is human perception.
