The Sagittal forum

I notice you struggling with the perennial problem of aligning the symbols with their degree numbers on the line below. You've found that the [_]pre] tag helps by giving us fixed width digits and spaces, but the Sagittal "smilies" (small images rather than characters in a font) aren't mono...

Thanks for explaining how they can't always be consistent with all 12n subsets. I'm glad the closest-to-default rule results in consistency with the smaller subset in both cases. Thanks for those sequences. Another option, that would reduce the cognitive load, but would only work for even n , i.e. 2...

Oops! I just noticed that https://sagittal.org/sag_12r.par conflicts with https://forum.sagittal.org/viewtopic.php?p=858#p858 regarding the default semitone fractions for :/|): and :(|\: . The latest and therefore definitive version is actually here: https://github.com/Sagittal/sagittal-main/blob/ma...

Thanks! That makes sense. Are the capture-zone boundaries and the default tone-fraction the same as the symbl boundary and the common tone fraction defined here ? Yes, they are. Although I should have said "semitone fraction" rather than "tone fraction". If so, there is one issu...

Just out of curiosity, how would one notate EDOs that are small enough so that 12edo's fifth is still the best fifth they have, suggesting a 12EDO-Relative notation, but have too many steps to the semitone for the Trojan set to be able to distinguish between all of them, namely 252edo, 264edo, 276e...

You may find this interesting. viewtopic.php?p=807#p807

I'm sorry I have too many other things going on, to really follow this. I've never found I needed more than 72-edo notation for Marvel. And 240edo doesn't seem like a particularly good tuning of either 7-limit or 11-limit Marvel, relative to its complexity. Yes, if you prefer to completely avoid 11-...

Yes. The only-3's-tempered size has some relevance here because you have generators that are fifths (or their octave equivalent or inversion). I overstated the case when I wrote that the untempered size was irrelevant. At least the relative untempered sizes of the symbols are important. We try to av...

I note that 255/244 is strictly called the 25/7- kleisma in the systematic comma naming scheme used in the Sagittal documentation. The 25/7- comma would be larger by a Pythagorean comma . Interesting. The interval I chose to notate for 25/7 is actually smaller than the pythagorean comma by a pythag...

I don't think it's necessary (or possible) to distinguish a notation for hemipental (if that's what I was giving) from a notation for pental-plus-pure-7ths. You just have to say precisely what the 7-limit symbols represent in each case. This is basic to Sagittal. It's designed so the meaning of symb...
