Re: Notating 5-limit pental with added 7th harmonics
Do you have any interest in creating proper outline glyphs for them, using FontForge ? If so, I will supply you with a TrueType version of the Sagittal font, in which all the shafts and flags are separate reusable components, included by reference in each Sagittal glyph. Thank you very much for the ...

Re: Fractions that you're not allowed to (or choose not to) reduce, like musical time signatures
Superb choice of example in Ups and Downs notation. Thanks for that! So I agree with your criticisms of this material, which was from an earlier state in my development of these ideas. But I now believe that the core of this idea is not tied to fractions, or to reducibility, but more to a sort of ...

Fractions that you're not allowed to (or choose not to) reduce them, like musical time signatures
Dave Keenan and I were looking at the 17n-EDO notations recently when he pointed out how a different sagittal was used for the 1/2 and 2/4 apotome here — :/|\: in 17- and 34- EDO, respectively — than the sagittal used for the 3/6 and 4/8 apotome — :(|\: in 51- and 68- EDO, respectively (see the Peri ...

サジタル
Not that we're anywhere near translating Sagittal materials into other languages, but if/when we do get to Japanese, the name should be サジタル, or Sajitaru , which is the closest transliteration possible in Japanese phonology, and is also the existing transliteration of the word "sagittal" as it is alr ...

Re: 581EDO
The answer is most definitely #1. Thanks for verifying my guess. Can't this be handled by a sufficiently general implementation of the same rule that you refer to parenthetically for when :(|\: or :/|): is used as the half-apotome? Namely if a symbol represents the half-apotome in some EDO, it ...

Re: 581EDO
Haha. Wow. So I'm working on code right now to generate all the EDO notations, and I decided — against my better judgment — to include a few of the bigger EDOs that had been discussed on the forum, just to test the extremes. And this notation broke my code for Revo, because the function which com ...

Re: 140th mina
I suspect the complete apotome-complement rules only exist in email so far, but here they are: In the pure notation, the apotome-complement of a core symbol is given by Figure 13 on page 24 of http://sagittal.org/sagittal.pdf, with the exceptions that the apotome-complement of :)/|\: is ...

Re: Hexagonal 37
Hi cicada , I've taken the diagram from Dave's response to you and added a few new features. JI ratios In addition to the raw cents values as you found them in the hexagonal37.scl file in the Scala archives, just below I've also shown the 5-limit JI ratio, which is the more fundamental piece of ...

Site and forum repairs
Hello fellow Sagittans, Some of you may have noticed that the HTTPS version of the main site and forum was down for a little over a month. We (the admins) are very sorry about that, but glad to report that it's been back for about a week now, and that hopefully it will never go down again. Here's ...

Re: aperiodic monotiles
Suh-weet! Craig S. Kaplan wrote a bit about aperiodic monotiles on his blog, and gives our "hurtle" proposal a shout-out: https://isohedral.ca/aperiodic-monotiles/ Thanks Dave for the find; I felt I had to share it here.
