Sagittal notation: Added the upward version
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs)
Sagittal notation: Changed "simplest ratio" to "simplest interval". Changed colons to slashes and dash. Gave the truly-simplest (2,3-free) interval in addition to the octave-reduced interval. Replaced hair-space with nbhsp template call.

In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \\! }} and is called the '''25 small diesis''', or '''25S''' for short, because the simplest ratio it notates is 16:25, as for example in E {{sagittal | b }}:B {{sagittal | \\! }}. The upward version is called '''1/25S''' or '''25S up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| //| }}.
