			== Extra column, what to include ==
			Before we finish and move this page to the main namespace I wanna discuss what more to include. So I reviewed some of the existing pages. They are a mess! So as we're creating this new page, I'd like to take this opportunity for a fresh start without all the burdens from the old pages.

			What I absolutely don't want is listing the rotations. Since now we have articles for individual chords it's prolly much better to link to them instead. Another thing I very much dislike is Kite's chord symbols; we should perhaps include common names instead, e.g. 1–5/4–3/2 is the just major triad. I also don't want complexity or odd limits. In particular, odd limits would only be 5, 7, 9, or 11; these aren't very informative. So, my suggestion is a single comment column where we list the ratios (in colon form) with links as well as common names when applicable. This will also allow us to mark out the plurichords.

	Some temperaments temper out commas that lead chords which otherwise come in otonal-utonal pairs to become neutralized, such as 7:8:9 and 9:10:11 in superpyth.

			== Chord classification ==

			Some temperaments temper out commas that lead chords which otherwise come in otonal-utonal pairs to become neutralized, such as 7:8:9 and 9:10:11 in superpyth. In [[Chords of huygens]], the neutralized 8:9:10 and 11:14:18 chords are both classified as otonal, while in [[Chords of mohajira]], the neutralized 10:11:12 chord is classified as utonal. I believe this is based on the transversal, as the 8:9:10, 11:14:18, and 10:11:12 chords are generated as 1-9/8-5/4, 1-14/9-11/9, and 1-20/11-5/3 respectively. However, classifying these chords as otonal or utonal is misleading, so there should be a convention; perhaps ambitonal, or another term entirely.--[[User:Overthink\|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink\|talk]]) 21:37, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
