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: {{sagittal| /||\ }} {{sagittal| \!!/ }} {{sagittal| /X\ }} {{sagittal| \Y/ }}. Adding a sharp or flat to a Sagittal is achieved by adding two more shafts, e.g. {{sagittal| /| }}{{sagittal| # }} becomes {{sagittal| /||| }} and {{sagittal| !) }}{{sagittal| b }} becomes {{sagittal| !!!) }}. When the Sagittal part alters in the opposite direction to the sharp or flat part, the rules are not so simple, e.g. {{sagittal| \! }}{{sagittal| # }} becomes {{sagittal| ||\ }} and {{sagittal| |) }}{{sagittal| b }} becomes {{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.

It is not necessary to learn the complete Sagittal microtonal notation system. The Spartan set is sufficient to notate 13-limit just intonation, 1/12-tones, 50 common equal divisions of the octave (EDOs), and their related higher-rank temperaments. | It is not necessary to learn the complete Sagittal microtonal notation system.
