Sagittal notation comes in two mutually-compatible "flavors". | |||
===Evo=== | |||
The '''Evo''' flavor (short for "evolutionary", previously called "mixed") uses only single-shaft Sagittal symbols, e.g. <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura|   |250%}}</span>, alone or in combination with conventional sharps and flats (and their doubles). Only the large variant of the double sharp <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> (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. | |||
<span id="evo-sz"></span> 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 <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> are replaced by the Stein-Zimmermann semisharp <span style="line-height: 16px">{{demisharp|250%}}</span> and narrow reversed flat <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span>. This should only be done when the [[33/32|11M]] symbols notate exactly half the alteration of a sharp or flat. Similarly, <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}}</span> and <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}} {{flat|250%}}</span> are replaced by <span style="line-height: 16px">{{sesquisharp|250%}}</span> and <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span>. The narrow variants <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> (U+E284) and <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> (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: <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura|   |250%}}</span>. Adding a sharp or flat to a Sagittal is achieved by adding two more shafts, e.g. <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}}</span> becomes <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span>. When the Sagittal alters in the opposite direction, the rules are not so simple, e.g. <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}} {{sharp|250%}}</span> becomes <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span> and <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}} {{flat|250%}}</span> becomes <span style="line-height: 16px">{{Bravura||250%}}</span>. One must simply learn these "[[2187/2048#Notation|apotome]] complements". | |||
