			A combo of the positive generator form and equave-reduced generator form (there should technically be a hyphen between ''positive''/''equave-reduced'' and ''generator'', right?): it makes sure the generators are positive not by flipping but by octave-reducing. Iow it's the canonical form if the canonical gens are positive, but octave-reduced form if the canonical gens are negative. This also makes sure the first nonzero entry of each row in the mapping is always positive; for rank-2 temps with primes 2 and 3 this means prime 3 is always a positive number of gensteps.
			* For meantone this gives {{mapping\| 1 0 -4 -13 \| 0 1 4 10 }} with gens ~2, ~3, same as canonical and positive generator forms.
			* For sensi this gives {{mapping\| 1 -1 -1 -2 \| 0 7 9 13 }} with gens ~2, ~9/7, same as equave-reduced and minimal generator forms.
			* For würschmidt this gives {{mapping\| 1 -1 2 \| 0 8 1 }} with gens ~2, ~5/4(!), same as equave-reduced and minimal generator forms.

			But that is still not good enough, for it gives {{mapping\| 1 -1 -2 \| 0 3 5 }} for porcupine, with gens ~2, ~9/5, yet we're generally more familiar with ~10/9 as the gen. So here's an additional rule based on the omega extension of ploidacot: if the temperament is omega-''n''-cot i.e. splits ~4/3 into three or more steps, we should stick to the positive generator form, so that porcupine remains {{mapping\| 1 2 3 \| 0 -3 -5 }}. I'm still contemplating how this should be extended to no-2 and/or no-3 temps.

			I think it's very humanized and fits well for the wiki, tho perhaps it's more like a rule for choosing forms than an individual form.

			== Revision to the equave-reduced generator form ==

			Actually, the equave reduction need not start with the positive generator form, but may start with the canonical form, which means a step of manipulation is saved. The result of course can be different, but sometimes perferable.

			My proposed revision changes the old "equave-reduced generator form" to the "positive equave-reduced generator form", which signifies that its starting point is the positive generator form. And it has the new "equave-reduced generator form" derived from the canonical form.

			Sensi is a great example to show how all these will differ from each other:

			# Canonical form: [{{val\| 1 6 8 11 }}, {{val\| 0 7 9 13 }}] with generators ~2, ~9/14
			# Positive generator form: [{{val\| 1 6 8 11 }}, {{val\| 0 -7 -9 -13 }}] with generators ~2, ~14/9
			# Equave-reduced generator form: [{{val\| 1 -1 -1 -2 }}, {{val\| 0 7 9 13 }}] with generators ~2, ~9/7
			# Positive equave-reduced generator form: [{{val\| 1 6 8 11 }}, {{val\| 0 -7 -9 -13 }}] with generators ~2, ~14/9
			# Minimal generator form: [{{val\| 1 -1 -1 -2 }}, {{val\| 0 7 9 13 }}] with generators ~2, ~9/7

	I recently published [[Canonical form\|a page on the xen wiki proposing a canonical form for RTT mappings (or comma-bases)]]. This new page of mine solves a problem that this page seems to have set out to solve but not finished the job: establishing a form for RTT matrices which ''uniquely identifies them'', for a definition of uniqueness that is appropriate to the RTT domain.

And so my page refers to this page in several places, mostly critiquing it.

	I note that this page doesn't even present a unified front. It presents both HNF and IRREF as ''potential'' normal forms.

I note that this page doesn't even present a unified front. It presents both HNF and IRREF as ''potential'' normal forms. But it is not clear whether a given matrix on a temperament page marked as "normal" is its HNF or IRREF (sometimes they are the same, other times different).

	But in particular I note that neither the HNF nor IRREF methods discussed here reliably defactor matrices (or in other words, saturate them, or remove contorsion, though those are confusing terms for the issue that my new page sets out to eliminate). This is what I'm referring to when I speak of a definition of uniqueness that is appropriate to the RTT domain. The HNF of a matrix is unique, yes, as is the IRREF. But these definitions of uniqueness treat e.g. {{map\|12 19 28}} and {{map\|24 38 56}} as distinct, when from a strict RTT perspective the latter is not distinct ''insofar as how it tempers JI'' from the former. At least when enfactoring is found in mappings, it has musical reality, but in comma-bases it's meaningless and confusing (I can still play music in 24-ET that sounds different than 12-ET, but I can't pump the comma {{vector\|-8 8 -2}} any differently than the comma {{vector\|-4 4 -1}})). So: enfactored matrices are pathological. (If you're interested in this issue, my new page discusses it in detail.)

	My concern is that the normal forms for RTT matrices which are discussed here have proliferated widely, but I believe that now that a canonical form has been developed (by [[Dave Keenan]], in collaboration with myself, [[Douglas Blumeyer]], inspired in no small part by many insights from [[Gene Ward Smith]]) should be the primary form of RTT matrices used throughout the wiki. Of course I don't plan to do this myself immediately, for numerous reasons. For starters, that'd be a Herculean task. But mostly I wouldn't do something that impactful without soliciting input from the community first.

	:::: Re: the beep example. I recently fixed that example myself. But I've since noticed it's not quite perfect. Normal form (and canonical form) require the pivots to be positive. And you find the pivots for comma-bases by anti-transposing them, i.e. flipping them across the anti-diagonal, between top-right and bottom-left, so that when the HNF tries to put all the zeros in the bottom-left corner, it gravitates them toward where we want them: the higher primes, and commas earlier in the list. Technically, then, the canonical commas for beep should be 25/27 and 35/36, even though with n < d those are negative in pitch and that's not the typical way we write commas. It looks less off-putting when the canonical form is presented as a matrix, i.e. {{map\|{{vector\|0 -3 2 0}} {{vector\|2 2 -1 -1}}}}, so I suggest we write them like that.

	:::::::::::::::: W00t! That's basically exactly how I was going to do it: for the mapping side, build them cumulatively on top of each other: HNF, canonical, positive generator, equave-reduced, mingen. Then a similar progression for the comma-basis side. Great work.		:::::::::::::::: W00t!

	:::::::::::::::: I just layered on an edit myself which came out bigger than I was expecting as I added some context that I think is helpful and some further explanations and examples. Let me know what you think. I didn't disagree with anything you had put on the page, so if in my edit I screwed up anything you cared about, please go right ahead and rework/redo. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin\|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin\|talk]]) 00:51, 4 October 2021 (UTC)		:::::::::::::::: I just layered on an edit myself which came out bigger than I was expecting as I added some context that I think is helpful and some further explanations and examples.
