The Sagittal system uses fractional 3-limit notations only for EDOs with bad fifths, defined as having errors of more than 10.5 cents from just. EDOs with good fifths have JI-based notations.

The symbols were chosen from the Sagittal repertoire so they progressively increase in width and don't violate flag arithmetic. Beyond those requirements, the choice might have been arbitrary, but it turned out to be possible to choose symbols whose tempered-JI meaning was valid in at least some of the EDOs they notate.
