Sagittal [[Notation|notation]] is a universal set of microtonal accidentals, developed by Dave Keenan and George Secor with the help of numerous others. See http://sagittal.org/ for the official site. If the website doesn't work, visit http://dkeenan.com/sagittal/
Sagittal is a microtonal [[Notation|notation]] system capable of notating almost any conceivable tuning. It was developed by [[Dave Keenan]] and [[George Secor]] with significant contributions from numerous others.  


In order for musicians to evaluate the proposal, they must adopt it enthusiastically to get a feel for what it can do. What Sagittal can notate is directly related to what we want to notate. This page, Sagittal Corner, is meant as a repository for materials which support the exploration of Sagittal notation.

=For those attending [[Xenharmonic_Praxis_Summer_Camp|Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp]] 2011=
===MuseScore===
We will be attempting to use Sagittal notation during the camp! This is ''not'' to exclude other notations, or to mandate the use of notation at all. Please read [http://sagittal.org/sagittal.pdf the Sagittal introductory article] and/or the [http://sagittal.org/gift/GiftOfTheGods.htm mythical introduction] as time and interest permits. '''Please make note''' of any questions or desires that arise in the course of reading. If you wish, you may add comments directly to this page with the "Edit this Page" button.
Sagittal accidentals are available in MuseScore via the [https://www.smufl.org/fonts/ Bravura font which implements the SMuFL standard]. They can be accessed by opening the Master Palette and finding them in the Symbols section at the end.  


This page is incomplete, reflecting the finished work of an ongoing project.
===Scala===
Sagittal notation is available in Scala.


Wish list for materials:
===Dorico===
 
Because Dorico is built by Steinberg Media, the same company that maintains the SMuFL standard, it should support Sagittal.
