As the introduction [[file:Sagittal.pdf|Sagittal.pdf]] says, Sagittal notation uses a conventional staff on which the natural notes are in a single series of fifths, i.e, in the case of just intonation, in [[3-limit|Pythagorean tuning]]. The meaning of conventional sharps and flats is Pythagorean as well, i.e. they stand for raising the corresponding note by a [[2187_2048|Pythagorean chromatic semitone (apotome)]], a "large" semitone 113.7 cents in size.

For the notation of notes in higher [[Harmonic Limit|limits]], additional symbols are introduced. The intervals these symbols tand for are mostly [[Comma|commas]] - the maybe most elementary example is the [[81_80|syntonic comma]] (ratio 81/80, 21.506 cents), the difference between a pythagorean and a just major third, necessary for just intonation in [[5-limit]]. Other elementary commas appearing along the overtone series are: in [[7-limit]] the [[64_63|septimal comma or Architas' comma]] (64/63, 27.264 Cents), the difference between a minor and a harmonic seventh, and, in [[11-limit]], the [[33_32|undecimal comma or al-Farabi quarter-tone]] (33/32, 53.2729 cents), the difference between an undecimal semi-augmented and a perfect fourth.

With the Sagittal symbos for these three commas, a scale consisting of the overtones 4 to 11 can be written as follows:
