: I would suggest rephrasing this sentence instead of removing it completely. For example, we could say that this temperament was ''inspired'' by the pelog scale — implying that the temperament does not attempt in any way to model the traditional pelog scale —, although I'd have to double-check to see if that's an accurate description of this temperament's history. Removing this sentence would only make it harder for readers to understand that, while the mathematical object is universal, its use in music has a cultural background that deserves to be presented clearly. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 04:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

:: That sounds good. I'm cool with a rephrase that makes it clear that the relationship is a one-way street. If possible, it would be good to clarify which region of Indonesia (Java, Bali, etc.) since I believe the tunings are pretty distinct despite the reuse of the terms slendro and pelog.

::: I realized that "inspired" probably wouldn't work here. I added a paragraph at the end of the first section (instead of the lead section, where it would be harder to summarize without the risk of being misleading), let me know if you think it could be misinterpreted as a two-way relationship. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 22:03, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Of course, there are endless versions of mavila, but you do you.
: This kind of content is best suited on the actual page, not on the talk page. Larger tables might be split onto subpages or in user pages, depending on how they're built, but this could be a useful resource for readers, who most likely will not visit the talk page searching for this.
