Is there a prevalent notation for the set $\{-n+1, …, n-1\}$?

Quite often, the set $\{0, …, n-1\}$ is denoted by $[n]$. Is there similarly a notion for the set $\{-n+1,…,n-1\}$ (other and shorter than $[n] ∪ -[n]$)?

Knowing I work only with integers, I like the open interval notation $(-n, n)$ or the french open interval notation $]-n, n[$. If context is unclear you can write $(-n, n) \cap \mathbb Z$.

Note that $[n]$ can be written $[0, n)$ in interval notation.
