	I am reconsidering terms like "Anamark tuning system" and "Scala tuning system" because of the risk of confusion with terms like "12edo tuning system" which fall in a very different category of things. Instead, I am moving toward the form "Anamark tuning file system" and the term "tuning file system" in general. Again I am omitting the word "format" since file formats change with version (e.g. Anamark tuning file system version 1 vs. version 2), the Scala tuning file system uses two files each with its own format, and the "format" is a deeper level of specification than the "system."

			: I object. I don't see how adding another layer of abstraction on top of the existing file formats is useful. Describing a file format already implies talking about its functional features; you can't really talk about file structure without context. It is entirely possible to describe multiple versions of the same format on a single page, and it would be logical to include the .kbm file format as a section of the page about .scl. [[Wikipedia: WP:Criteria]]'s second principle is "naturalness", and I think using the official terms is the most natural choice we have here. For reference, here are [https://www.mark-henning.de/am_downloads_eng.php#Tuning specifications for the Anamark tuning file format] and [https://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/scl_format.html specifications for the Scala scale file format], and we might want to keep in mind that the Xen Wiki shouldn't just duplicate what already exists on pages like this.

	Unless anyone objects, I'd like to turn this page into a REDIRECT to an "Anamark tuning file format" section on a new "Anamark tuning system" page. This will be analogous to the "Scale tuning system" page that I am working on. The "format" is only one aspect of each tuning system. The more important aspects are their functional features, and how they contrast with other tuning systems. I'll write a starting version of the "Anamark tuning system" page to hold the "Anamark tuning file format" section, but first I'm focusing on the "User:Mousemambo/Scala tuning system" page that needs to be created. Overall, I'm trying to rationalize and fill-in a collection of practical "Tuning methods" pages.
