First version, modeled after XW: MOS page style guide

New page

This is a '''style guide for temperament pages'''.

For guidance on how to expand or improve existing pages, this page's sections provide on what to include, and how to name each section. Sections should be added ''as needed''. Sections in ''italics'' do not denote actual sections, but rather items to add in addition to existing sections or outside of any section.

'''Disclaimer''': as this guide cannot account for every possible use case, editors are advised to use their best judgment on what to add or not. Additionally, nothing about this guide is set in stone; this guide can (and should!) be updated to fit current developments regarding mos pages.

== ''Introduction'' (precedes the first section) ==
This section may open with [[Template: Infobox Regtemp]], optional for now as there is still some work to be done on the template. It should include a verbal description that uniquely identifies the temperament in question, preferably in the first paragraph. It must end with a link to the corresponding technical data page for the temperament. Additionally, a link to the dedicated page for extensions must be appended if there is one.

== Theory ==
=== Interval chain ''or'' interval lattice ===
An interval chain table should be used for rank-2 temperaments. An interval lattice diagram should be used for rank-3 temperaments.

=== As a detemperament of ''n''-et ===
If there is a small equal temperament fit for detempering, this subsection may be added.

=== Notation ===
Discussion on the notations for the temperament may be added here.

=== Chords and harmony ===
Discussion on the chords and harmony available in the temperament may be added here.

== Scales ==
Discussion on the scales available in the temperament as well as links to scala file pages may be added here

== Tunings ==
=== Norm-based tunings ===
Tables for ''p''-limit norm-based tunings may be added here.

=== Target tunings ===
A table for ''q''-odd-limit minimax, least squares, and minimean tunings may be added here.

=== DR and equal-beating tunings ===
A table for DR and equal beating tunings may be added here.

=== Tuning spectrum ===
A table that list edo tunings and eigenmonzo tunings by generator size may be added here.

== Instruments ==
A gallery of instrument designs may be added here.

== Music ==
Links to music may be added here.

== See also ==
Links to other pages may be added here.

== External links ==
Links to outside-wiki resources regarding the temperament and/or its tunings may be added here.

== References ==
If any works are cited, add them here.

== Categories (succeeds the last section) ==
Add the eponymous category as well as Category: rank-''r'' temperaments, where ''r'' is the rank of the temperament. Also add the temperament families and/or clans the temperament belongs to.

Other categories for temperament pages include:
* Category: Exotemperaments or Category: Microtemperaments
* Category: Subgroup temperaments
