Chord Names in Sagittal

So I'm running into several qualms with sagittal chord names. Assuming we already know what to call accidentals, we have Pai, Pao, Pai-flat, pao-sharp. Here's my proposed system based on Cam's system with a few modifications for special chords. This post is mainly for 22 TET but applies to everythin...

Re: Key Signatures and MOS Notation

One could consider the preferred spellings for all 10 tetrads in the scale and see if perhaps pai-flats might occur more often than pao-sharps for some of the notes in the right-hand chain. But once that's decided, I agree with Cryptic Ruse that you don't change the spelling of a note within the sa...

Re: Key Signatures and MOS Notation

How about Pajara and the decatonics? These I find hard to notate consistently even though I know Cam mentioned an easy way to do it logically but I cannot seem to remember. Should 7/6 be notated as a large tone in that temperament? Paul did something like C E G A:/|: for the tonic 4:5:6:7 I think. ...

Re: Key Signatures and MOS Notation

Ok, I changed the title to include MOS notation since that is also a big issue here even if not a key signature pursue. How about Pajara and the decatonics? These I find hard to notate consistently even though I know Cam mentioned an easy way to do it logically but I cannot seem to remember. Should ...

Re: 22 EDO

Sorry William. I think I just found the source of the idea that :/|: corresponded the 1/2-apotome in 22-edo. Me! I mistakenly wrote it, about half way through this recent post in another thread. I've corrected it now. http://forum.sagittal.org/viewtopic.php?p=415#p415 Ah ok lol. So should we use th...

Re: Key Signature Approaches?

Dave I think that's probably a good idea because its easier to understand the score that way. Can someone explain porcupine keys signatures though? I cannot seem to understand how they change based on going down quills (the generator).

Key Signatures and MOS Notation

I have debated for a while on how to use sagittal for key signatures. It makes a score much cleaner looking to put all the needed signs in the key for a set of 7 pitches but it also MIGHT make it more difficult to read the score for some. I personally do not know what is best yet as I have only just...

22 EDO

Haven't been here in a while. This is my preferred notation for 22 EDO based on Cam's original proposal, it may be identical. I dunno ACCIDENTALS Accidentals come in the apotome and 1/2 apotome. :#: and :b: have a value of 3 Sharp/Flat :/|: and :\!: have a value of 1 Pai/Pao Symbols are combined to ...

Re: 17 EDO?

Dave Keenan wrote:That is correct. And the same notation is used for 24, 31 and 38 edos, so of course you need to indicate on the score, which of them you intend.
Ok thanks
