Sagitype: Difference between revisions
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) →Multiple flags per side: Reformatted the multiple-flags-per-side table to match the format of the single-flag-per-side table above |
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) Removed narrow no-break spaces from after sagittals, now that the sagittal template includes a trailing no-break hair space. Added spaces for source readability before the }} of sagittal template calls. |

'''Sagitype''' is a system for representing [[Sagittal]] symbols as plain text, using characters that approximate their parts.

Sagitype is useful in environments where access to the actual musical notation glyphs is unavailable, such as email, spreadsheets, and so forth, or when a text-based interface to the glyphs is useful, such as with the [[Template:Sagittal|Sagittal template]] on this wiki; the Sagittal symbol in the previous paragraph, for example, was produced by inserting the <code>/|)</code> Sagitype into the template, like so: | Sagitype is useful in environments where access to the actual musical notation glyphs is unavailable, such as email, spreadsheets, and so forth, or when a text-based interface to the glyphs is useful, such as with the [[Template:Sagittal|Sagittal template]] on this wiki; the Sagittal symbol in the previous paragraph, for example, was produced by inserting the <code>/|)</code> Sagitype into the template, like so: | ||

Representing a sagittal with flags on both sides is straightforward. We've already seen how the sagittal {{sagittal | /|)}} | Representing a sagittal with flags on both sides is straightforward. We've already seen how the sagittal {{sagittal | /|) }}, which is the combination of the sagittal with the left barb {{sagittal | /| }} and the sagittal with the right arc {{sagittal | |) }}, is represented with a combination of their respective Sagitypes: <code>/|</code> + <code>|)</code> = <code>/|)</code>. To produce other multi-flag sagittals, then, we can follow this same pattern; for another example, <code>~!</code> + <code>!(</code> = <code>~!(</code> just as {{sagittal | ~! }} + {{sagittal | !( }} = {{sagittal | ~!( }}. | ||
