Although the expert will instantly recognise either of these for what it is, for the benefit of the general reader a link should be provided to the Knowledge (XXG) article on whichever notation is used. Either notation is equally acceptable, but within a single article one should be chosen and then used consistently, similarly to 106: 1122:
The main problem with this format is that it may lead to narrow, tall tables. It may be better to use a different format for article appearance. On the other hand, bear in mind that other readers have different browsers and screen sizes to yours. The recommended format works acceptably in most cases.
1118:
If in doubt, the recommended orientation is to have the string number as the leftmost column, and the first string as the top row. This avoids having either order across the page, and so is consistent with either convention for listing pitches in music notation, and with listing either string pitches
1503:
So, conventional string numbering is undeniably backwards. This is pointed out in the guitar section as well; the string numbering for guitars follows the same woefully backwards convention. Until the seemingly inevitable happens and this is changed, we're stuck with it. Meanwhile, tunings read left
1058:
Non-standard notations that may be confused with either Helmholtz or scientific pitch notation should be avoided. For example, the twelve-string unison and octave G tunings are sometimes given as eE–aA–dD–GG–BB–EE and eE–aA–dD–gG–BB–EE respectively (or many, many other variations of this). It is far

style may be used instead, spreading the string tunings. Recognising this, some writers prefer to use arpeggio style for all instruments. An issue then arises, should the strings be listed in the order in which they are conventionally listed in the text, or in the order in which they conventionally
1110:
This ordering may lead to confusing inconsistency within an article, if string pitches and gauges are listed in the same article. One way around this is to use a table. Another is to insert a phrase such as "lowest to highest" adjacent to the pitch listing; The order in the case of string gauges is

is a retuning that does not require changing stringing or setup. Most instruments have a standard tuning and stringing, and all other tunings that may be accommodated without changing the strings are scordaturas. Likewise, a particular stringing may have a standard tuning, and all other tunings of

were we to try. And the other problem would be, which to change? The listing of the strings of a guitar say, from lowest to highest, left to right, follows the natural and established pattern of any guitar chord chart. On the other hand, the numbering is used in every guitar method, and follows
1126:
Sometimes there may be more than three things to list, for example if there are several alternative tunings for a single stringing, or several common gauges of string. The recommended format copes well with these cases, and with combining what would otherwise be several tables into one.
1114:
But the best solution is a table, listing string number, string gauge and pitch or pitch range as three rows or three columns. Either orientation can work, and either order, but within any article, it's best to be consistent. Choose an order and orientation and stick to it.
1094:
it is string eleven, because of the unusual standard tuning of this particular (and very important) guitar model. An article that referred particularly to the octave string of this pair and applied to all twelve-string guitars would need to be very carefully worded.
952:
Perhaps not surprisingly, there is no consistent convention for the listing of strings in sequence on the music staff, some following the convention of following the order in which the string tunings are normally listed, others the order in which they are numbered.
1106:
String gauges are always listed in the order in which the strings are conventionally numbered, rather than the order in which the pitches are conventionally listed, so for example a typical light set for electric guitar would be .009-.011-.016-.024w-.032w-.042w.
964:
Depending on the context, sometimes it is sufficient merely to name the notes, as in E–A–D–G–B–E for the guitar. The notes should be named by uppercase letters, and separated by dashes. Sharp and flat signs are placed immediately after the note name, for example
1067:
Strings are numbered starting with the string furthest from the player. All strings are numbered, so for example the string closest to the player of a twelve-string guitar is always string twelve, and never "string six secondary" or similar constructions.
928:
The listing of strings starting nearest the player, the numbering starting furthest away, and the listing of the gauges of string sets in the order of numbering, are all well-established conventions, applicable to all stringed instruments.
180: 919:
and related topics, information on the tuning of the strings is very often included. The formatting of this information raises some surprisingly tricky issues, as the conventions adopted elsewhere are not terribly consistent.
944:
The listing of string gauges in Knowledge (XXG) articles is relatively rare when compared to tunings, but when it occurs it compounds the problem. Most if not all string manufacturers list their string sets starting with the
1079:. Courses should be numbered if necessary in the same way as individual strings, starting with the course furthest from the player, thus a twelve-string guitar has courses numbered from one to six, while a nine-string 1687: 1390:

suffix may be omitted so long as this is consistently done throughout the article, but this is not generally recommended. If any string gauges within the article include plain (unwound) strings, then the
2187: 1142:. Within a single article, either inch measure or thou measure should be used consistently. In either case the unit may be omitted, and again either way this should be consistent throughout the article. 567: 557: 63: 1331: 617: 2322: 2305: 793: 702: 632: 758: 682: 627: 582: 1740: 719: 612: 607: 1725: 587: 207: 1535: 622: 572: 552: 838: 652: 597: 592: 577: 562: 547: 475: 225: 1055:, courses should be separated by dashes, and string notes adjacent, so the twelve-string guitar tuned to octave G tuning is eE–aA–d′d–g′g–bb–e′e′ in Helmholtz notation. 175: 687: 645: 540: 362: 1528: 1720: 1601: 670: 520: 158: 1156:
added to the gauge. For example, a wound string of 32 thou diameter may be called 32w or .032w depending on whether thou or inch measure is used in the article.
941:. So changing either presents an enormous set of problems, and it is not clear which is the smaller set. Some proponents of change argue one way, some the other. 2162: 1861: 1851: 737: 657: 310: 275: 242: 2342: 1919: 709: 697: 527: 389: 345: 1416:

Often only the top and bottom gauges are given. In this case the top string is listed first, as in the .017-.095w string set for the

relatively obvious. A third is to list both pitch and gauge together, such as .009(E)-.011(B)-.016(G)-.024w(D)-.032w(A)-.042w(E).

In many cases several related tunings share a common name, either for different instruments or the same one. For example,
