The Sagittal forum

So the Stoics were indeed alternative Athenians. :) That's amazing. I've been quiet here but following along. I really love how this has been coming together. I also meant to tell you that I've been fixing up your attempts to display your attached images. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if you simpl...

I just noticed that Thomas Nicholson, using EHEJIPN, prepends the cents deviations with the sharped or flatted nominal whenever it is not the bare nominal:



Lovely piece. Shame it's not notated in Sagittal, of course

But I don't understand why you think I would agree that the other option (-20 in your example) would be bonkers? You don't need to know Revo at all. ​You just have to be told to treat anything with parallel vertical lines like a sharp and pointing upward, as a sharp, and treat anything with paralle...

So we'd have:

tina
mina
ultrina
hina
athina

That works for me. (Edit: now updated in the code base)

Footnote 18 in the XH article (my bolding) says: While the Reinhard method makes use of numbers of cents modifying 24-EDOpitches, it is not possible to use separate quartertone symbols at the same time as Sagittal symbols, so the numbers would need to be specified relative to steps of 12-EDO. The n...

Dave Keenan , when you get a chance, could I get a direct yes/no on my proposed approach to including cents deviations as a supplement to Sagittal notation, as I described a few posts back ? On page 22 of the XH article you write: The excellent results achieved using the Reinhard method of notation...

regular mapping paradigm. Right! I'll get it straight. Thanks. I researched those dates from the tuning list archive and my emails. Thanks for doing all that. Perhaps I should pester Graham to tack some more dates and names onto that thing, benefitting from all your research just now. Isn't it past...

At that stage, I had already described regular mapping in my Nov 2003 paper https://www.dkeenan.com/Music/MicroGuitar.pdf, but it was specific to the micro-guitar application. In that paper I use the term "prime exponent list" rather than "prime exponent vector" to make it sound...

Oh dang! I read that section but I didn't look super carefully at the actual staff at the end. Do you think we should message them about it?

I did reach out to them re: the issue we found in HEJI for SMuFL or Bravura, whatever that was, and I never heard back from them.

I hadn't come across this one, Fundamental Principles of Just Intonation and Microtonal Composition by Thomas Nicholson and Marc Sabat, until just today, though it looks like it's been around since Sep. 2018: https://marsbat.space/pdfs/JI.pdf I haven't had a chance to read through the whole thing ye...
