The Sagittal forum

I agree with George, and with Dave's latest comment. Adhering closely with the most popular accidental practice makes a lot of sense, where (reasonably short) bars and some tonal relationships are maintained, having accidentals (or accidental groups) in effect for a whole bar seems logical. I have ...

Thanks for all this George, for taking the time to look into this so deeply. I wouldn't have thought it would be quite this tricky, since 581 is not too far from 23- and 25-limit JI, and with 270 looking not too radical, I thought 581 would be only a bit of gap-filling from there. Obviously, I was ...

Done, all working thanks! Sorry for the hassle!

Thanks for looking into this. But as I accessed the sagittal page again, it still won't play. Perhaps this is just an issue at my end (insufficient plugins etc). I get the media bar there and can hit the play/pause button, but get no time indication besides 0:00, and no sound. The other sound ...

I'd like to emphasise the 23-prime limit, so not that keen to use higher primes unless it makes things a whole lot easier. Thanks.

Anyone know why George's audio no longer plays on the main Sagittal notation page? I really like it, and would love to be able to listen to it again. Couldn't find it anywhere else.

I realise 581 is tricky, mostly because it looks really close to JI, but it's fifths are ever so slightly sharp as to make a very nearly pure 7:8 after 14 fifths, and virtually just 8:11 at 23 fifths, making it very practical to work with. Another reason 581 is tricky is because the schisma maps to ...

These 205 and 270 edo notations are very useful! I've been looking into 205 (in relation to H-Pi, and to 41edo), 270, 311 and 270+311=581 as master tunings for JI and regular/irregular temperaments alike. Now I know your recommended 270 notation I can probably work out how most of 581 works, but ...

I am trying to make a 37edo template on Mus2 for Joe Monzo, but I didn't find any obvious solution to notating 37, except as a subset of 74edo's meantone (which I don't think he's interested in). If notating with the native fifth, we have m2 = 1\37, A1 = 6\37, M2 = 7\37, etc. The most obvious option ...

Hi all. A while ago I did a handwritten version of Johnston's 10th Quartet 3rd movement, to compare with Johnston's own JI notation. I have since made a version in Mus2 using mixed Sagittal accidentals that plays back pitch correctly. I will probably also make a Pure Sagittal version for those ...
