| The '''Evo''' flavor (short for "evolutionary", previously called "mixed") uses only single-shaft Sagittal symbols, e.g. {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /| }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \! }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| |) }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| !) }} , alone or in combination with conventional sharps and flats and their doubles. Only the large variant of the double sharp {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| x }} (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. | | The '''Evo''' flavor (short for "evolutionary", previously called "mixed") uses only single-shaft Sagittal symbols, e.g. {{sagittal| /| }} {{sagittal| \! }} {{sagittal| |) }} {{sagittal| !) }} , alone or in combination with conventional sharps and flats and their doubles.

| <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 {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /|\ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \!/ }} are replaced by the Stein-Zimmermann semisharp {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| > }} and narrow reversed flat {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| < }} . This should only be done when the 11M symbols notate exactly half the alteration of a sharp or flat. Similarly, the combinations {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /|\ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| # }} and {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \!/ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| b }} are replaced by {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| ># }} and {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| <b }}. The narrow variants of the fractional flats {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| < }} (U+E284) and {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| <b }} (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. | | <span id="Evo-SZ"></span> A sub-flavor of Evo is '''Evo-SZ''' (Evo with Stein-Zimmermann).

| 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 sharps and flats and their doubles and replaces them with these multi-shaft arrow-like symbols: {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /||\ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \!!/ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /X\ }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \Y/ }}. Adding a sharp or flat to a Sagittal is achieved by adding two more shafts, e.g. {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /| }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| # }} becomes {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| /||| }} and {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| !) }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| b }} becomes {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| !!!) }}. When the Sagittal part alters in the opposite direction to the sharp or flat part, the rules are not so simple, e.g. {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| \! }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| # }} becomes {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| ||\ }} and {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| |) }} {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| b }} becomes {{User:Dave_Keenan/sagittal| !!) }} ; one must simply learn these ''[[2187/2048#Notation|apotome]] complements''. | | The '''Revo''' flavor (short for "revolutionary", previously called "pure") only requires one accidental per note.
