It is the simplest and coarsest of the Sagittal sets. The Spartan set has a maximum resolution of 13EDA<ref>https://forum.sagittal.org/viewtopic.php?t=516</ref>, which is ''sufficient'' to notate 13*-limit just intonation (if used for JI), and all EDOs which are at most sharp-13, including all EDOs from 1 up to 111, the [[Zeta peak edo|zeta peaks]] [[130edo|130]], [[142edo|142]], among many others.

If used with tempered systems, it can be used to write music in the 23-limit, such as with 94edo.


<nowiki>*</nowiki>In this set, ratios of 13 are represented by reusing the accidentals for ratios of 35 (7*5). This is because the resulting interval, [[512/315]] (the ~13/8 interval) is only 0.4 ¢ ([[4096/4095]]) from just. The prime 13 will not have a distinct accidental up until the Olympian set.

It adds the [[4096/4095|''mina'']] diacritic to the Herculean symbol set, able to be stacked up to twice with the schisma and the remaining alterations, allowing for a maximum resolution of 233EDA. When used for JI, it defines the ''Standard Extreme Precision JI'' capable of writing in the 47-limit with great precision. It also is the smallest precision level that has an "exact" mapping for prime 13, thanks to the mina's appearance. 13/8 is now written as a major sixth minus the 35 large diesis and a mina. From C, this would be C - A{{sagittal|(!/}}{{sagittal|,}} .

It adds the ''tina'' diacritic to the Olympian symbol set, able to be stacked up to thrice with any of the symbols (three tinas make a ~mina), allowing for a whopping maximum resolution of 809EDA. When used for JI, it defines the ''Standard Insane Precision JI'' capable of writing in the 127-limit with astonishing precision. There is no level of precision higher than this, and it is unlikely that one will ever exist.

== Prime approximations ==
Here are some approximations to octave reduced primes from D, using the several precision sets available in JI. Values in parentheses are deviations in cents from just; if exact, none is displayed.
