Perhaps an unfortunate choice of word: as a musical function,
regardless whether it is notated.

to raise an interval, can you show me an example?
D# E#p F-raised - I just added a sharp to your example.
I know what makes the underlying theory. Start with minor (resp.
major) second m (resp M), which generates sharps and flats with
interval M-m. Then add a neutral second: one needs symbols to get from
m to n (example: sori) and from M to n (example: koron).
So each n generates a symbol pair. This has to do with the notation
system expresses all pitches of the form p m + q M, where p, q run
through the integers. By adding the the symbol pairs, one can also
express p m + q M + r n, where the integer r >= 0.
If one wants r < 0, then one need another pair of symbols. This
happens in Turkish music. The reason is that when one divided the
perfect fourth symmetrically as n P n, instead of the Persian n P m.
So I just think of that theory, and know that some transposition will
generate those symbols. They may not be used in practice, but without
them, one may end up in a situation where they might be needed.
