I've described my method of determining a note name (see attachment). Currently I'm reading the scheme git book (https://scheme-book.ursliska.de/) which is very helpful. Do I understand correctly that to determine the right note name with EH and Sagittal notation that a ratio is checked against a list of ratios and corresponding glyphs?
The two work differently. Both factorize the ratio (relative to the base notes). Sagittal converts that into an equal temperament, and then assigns a string (not always a single glyph) to each step of the equal temperament. (This is not quite how Sagittal should work.)
For Helmholtz notation, the factorized ratio maps to a set of glyphs used for notating small intervals, one for each prime number. Then it combines those glyphs to get a string for the full accidental. The same process should work for Johnston notation.
