==Flavors of Sagittal notation==

Sagittal notation comes in two ~~mutually-~~compatible ''flavors''.

Sagittal notation comes in two compatible ''flavors''.

===Evo===

The '''Evo''' flavor (short for "evolutionary", previously called "mixed") uses only single-shaft Sagittal symbols, e.g. {{Bravura|   |250%}}, alone or in combination with conventional sharps and flats (and their doubles). Only the large variant of the double sharp {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E47D) is considered to be stylistically-compatible with Sagittal symbols. Evo ~~flavor~~ results in a greater number of symbols on the sheet, which can give it a more cluttered appearance, particularly with chords, and it may be ~~considered~~ confusing when two symbols alter in opposite directions~~, but it is much easier to learn~~.

Only the large variant of the double sharp {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E47D) is considered to be stylistically-compatible with Sagittal symbols. Evo is much easier to learn, but it results in a greater number of symbols on the sheet, which can give it a more cluttered appearance, particularly with chords, and it may be confusing when two symbols alter the same note in opposite directions.

A sub-flavor of Evo is '''Evo-SZ''' (Evo with Stein-Zimmermann). This is where the arrow-like [[33/32|11M]] up and down symbols {{Bravura||250%}} {{Bravura||250%}} are replaced by the Stein-Zimmermann semisharp {{demisharp|250%}} and narrow reversed flat {{Bravura||250%}}. This should only be done when the ~~[[33/32|~~11M]] symbols notate exactly half the alteration of a sharp or flat. Similarly, {{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}} and {{Bravura||250%}} {{flat|250%}} are replaced by {{sesquisharp|250%}} and {{Bravura||250%}}. The narrow variants {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E284) and {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E285) are preferred because they preserve the Sagittal principle that the visual size of a symbol should indicate the relative size of its alteration.

This should only be done when the 11M symbols notate exactly half the alteration of a sharp or flat. Similarly, {{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}} and {{Bravura||250%}} {{flat|250%}} are replaced by {{sesquisharp|250%}} and {{Bravura||250%}}. The narrow variants of the fractional flats {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E284) and {{Bravura||250%}} (U+E285) are preferred because they preserve the Sagittal principle that the visual size of a symbol should indicate the relative size of its alteration.

===Revo===

The '''Revo''' flavor (short for "revolutionary", previously called "pure") only requires one accidental per note. Revo therefore takes up less space on the sheet and presents a cleaner appearance, and it clearly indicates the direction of the overall alteration. It discards the conventional ~~sharp~~ and ~~flat (~~and their doubles) and replaces them with these multi-shaft arrow-like symbols: {{Bravura|   |250%}}. Adding a sharp or flat to a Sagittal is achieved by adding two more shafts, e.g. {{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}} becomes {{Bravura||250%}}. When the Sagittal alters in the opposite direction, the rules are not so simple, e.g. {{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}} becomes {{Bravura||250%}} and {{Bravura||250%}} {{flat|250%}} becomes {{Bravura||250%}}~~. One~~ must simply learn these ''[[2187/2048#Notation|apotome]] complements''.
