Thanks, 
I'll take a closer look at the EH notation and see if I can alter it.

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.
