Sagittal for Mavila

Simple, yet deadly:

- the nominals are still C-B and represent a chain of fifths
- since 135/128 vanishes, C-E is now 6/5, and D-F is now 5/4, so this
is basically Erv Wilson's notation all over again
- since the apotome is upside down, don't ever use it. Use 25/24 instead.

OK, we're done here. No need to define any more accidentals. Any
problems with this, George Secor and Dave Keenan?

No problem with that at all. In fact, at your suggestion (on top of an earlier one by Herman Miller) we asked Manuel Op de Coul to update the Sagittal implementation in Scala to include Mavila-based native-fifth notations for 16-EDO and 23-EDO. SET NOTATION SA16N or SET NOTATION SA23N.

They use the )||( (double scroll double shaft) accidental whose primary comma is 25/24 and two other accidentals with secondary commas of (25/24)^2 and (25/24)^3.

The updated Windows version is already available. It has other updates to sagittal, including new notations for 60, 120 and 180-EDO (thanks to Graham Breed), and at long last the Herculean and Olympian JI notations SAJI3 and SAJI4. Thanks Manuel.
