Why overspecify the cents so much? Seems misleading. The comma basis is sometimes 2.3.5 and sometimes 2.3.5.13. Wouldn't the exact cents of the optimal generator vary depending on which comma basis is used? And isn't the choice of CTE over other standards somewhat arbitrary? I'd rather see "~317c" than "317.111c". No information is lost because all the exact tunings for specific temperaments already appear on the "Kleismic family" page, where they belong. | Why overspecify the cents so much? Seems misleading.

* For Kleismic it's accurate enough that "317.1c" should be used in preference to "317c"; CTE was arbitrary but I'd rather select just one generator. This was 2.3.5.13 CTE I suppose. [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 00:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

Why overspecify the cents so much? Seems misleading. The comma basis is sometimes 2.3.5 and sometimes 2.3.5.13. Wouldn't the exact cents of the optimal generator vary depending on which comma basis is used? And isn't the choice of CTE over other standards somewhat arbitrary? I'd rather see "~317c" than "317.111c". No information is lost because all the exact tunings for specific temperaments already appear on the "Kleismic family" page, where they belong. --TallKite (talk) 00:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
