• curprev 19:4219:42, 27 March 2025 VectorGraphics talk contribs 25,877 bytes +51 inconsistencies aren't "contradictions" per-se, or at least I'd prefer to explain what the contradiction is in more detail Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit

• curprev 16:0716:07, 3 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs 25,819 bytes +598 the frequency ratios help ground the abstract mathematics in music to a beginner, so should be included. i will re-add the other changes in the next edit though Tag: Undo
• curprev 07:3707:37, 3 September 2024 FloraC talk contribs 25,221 bytes −598 I don't think you should try explaining backslash notation when you can link. You should also declare it before using it.
• curprev 07:1907:19, 3 September 2024 FloraC talk contribs 25,819 bytes −117 Not sure why giving a "bad" example in the first place so that you have to include the twist of logic. Amend it by plainly stating what we mind and what we don't. Cleanup +1
• curprev 06:5806:58, 3 September 2024 FloraC talk contribs 25,936 bytes −132 This is just unencyclopedic writing
• curprev 00:1200:12, 3 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,068 bytes −1 →Importance: clearer order by putting the single word as the first entry of the slash. also because (simple)/(musically relevant) and (simple)/(musically) relevant both lead to correct sentences with correct meaning
• curprev 00:0000:00, 3 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,069 bytes +9 →Using a val: stating an equivalent in words immediately was a bit confusing especially given it cut off on my screen so this should be better

2 September 2024

• curprev 23:5523:55, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,060 bytes +7 →Definition: i don't see any referent to 26edo being used as the example prior to where we state that prime 2 is mapped to 26 steps, which is disorientating, hence i've restored its correct place in the title. i know it's inelegant, but elegance is not the chiefest concern here. 26edo was picked for a small tuning that shows an inconsistency in the 5-limit which one might nonetheless want to use the 5-limit approximations for, so is not that arbitrary under closer analysis anyways
• curprev 23:5223:52, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,053 bytes −41 this is the second time something from the summary that i decided not to include has appeared on the page. am i really that careless or is this an obscure bug?
• curprev 23:5123:51, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,094 bytes −4 →Using a val: unlink "backslash notation" as rn what it links to is so terrible that i dont know how to even fix it, and a proper and clear definition is immediately given anyways, hence why i didnt link it in the first place
• curprev 23:4623:46, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,098 bytes +71 →Motivation: small clarification and make the long sentence easier to read
• curprev 23:4123:41, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 26,027 bytes +69 →Definition: fix link
• curprev 23:3923:39, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 25,958 bytes +1 →Motivation: lack of comma is potentially conceptually ambiguous so recommended here
• curprev 23:3823:38, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 25,957 bytes −31 →Motivation: fix link as i didnt realise the section was renamed/restructured
• curprev 23:3423:34, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 25,988 bytes −1 →Motivation: cleaner/more natural formatting for separating the important definition from the rest of the body of text
• curprev 23:3323:33, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 25,989 bytes +140 help the reader identify where they must read carefully, and encourage them to continue reading if they did not understand the worded technical/mathematical explanation of inconsistency
• curprev 23:2323:23, 2 September 2024 Godtone talk contribs m 25,849 bytes +18 implicit multiplication is confusing, *especially* when spelled with brackets only, as it minimises the distinction with division of ratios (which require brackets)

• curprev 08:2408:24, 31 August 2024 FloraC talk contribs 26,273 bytes −582 The beginning note is covered by the header and the +"motivation" section title. Fix unencyclopedic writing (tone, abuse of parentheses, etc.). Restore old "definition" section title. Integer -> number (technically a tuning map is a val). Prime -> prime harmonic.
