Sagittal notation: Difference between revisions
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) →Gallery of core accidentals: Changed to "Gallery of symbols". Removed explanation of "core". Keep the simple stuff simple. |
Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) →The symbol sets: Added separate heading for accented symbol sets and made it collapsed, as these are rarely used and make Sagittal look more complicated than it really is for a beginner. |

It adds 20 more symbols to Athenian symbol set, allowing for a maximum resolution of 47EDA. When used for JI, it defines the ''Standard High Precision JI'' capable of writing in the 23-limit or 41-limit, however, this JI notation is not recommended. It instead can be used to write in EDOs such as the [[Zeta peak edo|zeta edos]] [[270edo|270]] and [[311edo|311]], the latter to write music in the [[41-limit]]. | It adds 20 more symbols to Athenian symbol set, allowing for a maximum resolution of 47EDA.

== The accent sets == | |||
Fine-grained Sagittal notations can use accents, also called diacritics, to the left of a symbol or a bare shaft, to indicate very subtle distinctions in pitch. | |||

It adds the ''tina'' accent to the Olympian symbol set, able to be stacked up to thrice with any of the symbols (three tinas make a ~mina), allowing for a whopping maximum resolution of 809EDA. The strict zeta peak [[8539edo]] has been used to define the tina as an interval measure, due its insanely precise 27-odd-limit (and beyond) interval palette. When used for JI, it defines the ''Standard Insane Precision JI'' capable of writing in the 127-limit with astonishing precision. There is no level of precision higher than this, and it is unlikely that one will ever exist.
