Sagittal accidentals are not intended to be combined with one another, except in the Prime Factor JI notation, as symbols representing useful combinations and powers of primes are already provided. An accidental can often be used to represent alternative commas that differ by 2 cents or less. In such cases the intended comma ratio may be determined by the pitch-class to which it is applied, or by the musical context. Alternatively, accent marks (from the Herculean and subsequent extensions) may be added to distinguish these commas. | Sagittal accidentals are not intended to be combined with one another, except in the Prime Factor JI notation, as symbols representing useful combinations and powers of primes are already provided.

[https://www.desmos.com/calculator/iehdworjko | [https://www.desmos.com/calculator/iehdworjko This Desmos graph] shows the theoretical minimum Sagittal set required to notate an EDO. However the standard Sagittal EDO notations don't always adhere to this because there are many other considerations that go into choosing a good EDO notation from among the possible ones. | ||
