**Category: Tuning methods. A category that would encompass all articles about how electronic instruments are made to adhere to alternative (non-12-EDO) tunings. "Practical tuning" or "Tuning practices" or Tuning mechanisms" or "Tuning technique" (currently in use but deprecated with redirect) or "Tuning practice" are alternatives perhaps? I note that the current [[:Category:Tuning]] is about the theoretical side and not at all the practical side. However, it might instead be best to stick everything in Tuning, practical and theoretical, although that's not the direction I currently lean toward. I'd rather see "Tuning methods" offered as a category on the Category:Tuning page, and hide all the "methods" pages in there.

*'''Indian music''' ([[User:Mousemambo/Indian music]]). Replace the existing article "[[Indian]]" which, by the way, has a strange and dismaying page title (see below). Provide some history and current usage of tuning selections in the various branches of Indian music, and links to outside information. See the "[[User:Mousemambo/Workbench#Indian music|Indian music]]" section below for a review of what this wiki already has on the topic.

*'''Scale and tuning system design'''. I'm interested as a beginner in what goes into selecting a "good" scale or tuning system, and what "good" means. It probably means "useful for making music I like listening to" which just moves the question to "What attributes of scales and tunings seem to help make music that appeals to many people?" A good question for generating an article or set of them -- "Scale design" and "Tuning system design" for example. See the section "[[User:Mousemambo/Workbench#Scale and tuning system design|Scale and tuning system design]]" below for a collection of relevant links. [[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]]‎ has [https://discord.com/channels/332357996569034752/780300193110818826/1140877544988622848 suggested on Discord Xen#wiki] that he's interested in adding a "Scale design" section to the "Scale" page, so watch for that. Some properties that I believe people consider in scale and tuning design:
**Correspondence to the [[harmonic series]], especially the fifth and/or third. Harmonic sounds are perceived by humans as more sonorous, in part due to harmonic blending.
**Includes many close-to-harmonic fifths among intervals of the scale's (or possible scale in the tuning) notes.
**Is an [[EDO]] with the useful properties of those (modulation is relatively easy, for example).
**Is a [[MOS scale]] (many scales that people have found attractive for making music happen to be MOS scales.
**Has enough corresponding scale degrees with 12edo that it is possible to compose in it using music theoretic understanding from Common Practice theory (e.g. [[19edo]]).
**Is an EDO close enough to a popular temperament to substitute for it, e.g. [[19edo]] for [[1/3-comma meantone]].
**Has few enough pitches per [[equave]] that there's no need to select a subset for mapping to standard piano format controllers.
*'''Scale naming'''. How are scales named? Are there existing conventions in the Xen community. Note a Discord discussion regarding square brackets used in scale names. Note the existing [[Temperament names]] page. Some related pages are:

**[[Glossary]]
This is a section in early development to collect terms that don't seem fundamental enough to include in the limited space of the "Introduction to xenharmonic music terminology" but I believe seem important enough to warrant inclusion in an intermediate-level follow-up. Some might instead get incorporated into the Introduction before its first non-draft release.

***Historically, pure tunings were understood to mostly support only limited dyadic harmony, because few intervals in any purely JI tuning were considered acceptably consonant. Interval table analysis of an example JI tuning reveals how many of that tunings' dyadic intervals are unusable for harmony. Consonant triads are very rare in JI tunings.
***However, many traditional cultural musics successfully integrated dyadic harmony, e.g. ancient Greek music and its early European descendants, traditional classical Chinese music, and some traditional African music.
***Melodic arpeggiation and the introduction of ostinato in accompaniment provided an opening to harmonic ideas without the more glaring dissonance of simultaneous tones.
***The development of [[wikipedia:Meantone_temperament|meantone temperaments]] in European music expanded the number of acceptably consonant intervals ([[wikipedia:List_of_meantone_intervals|List of meantone intervals]]), while listeners became more accepting of less pure intervals as consonant (most extremely in [[wikipedia:Emancipation_of_the_dissonance|Emancipation of the dissonance]]), allowing expansion and exploration of triadic and larger harmonies.

== Elements of good Xenharmonic Wiki article writing ==
The criterion for inclusion in the "introduction" — that the whole thing fit inside a one-semester academic class — doesn't hold as well here because you could make an intermediate terminology collection for each of several specialties, e.g. JI tunings, EDO tunings, [[RTT]], etc. But in the interest of continuing the idea of a survey of xenharmonic terminology, I'll eventually create sections for each specialty that seems to me at this time to be important for a survey of xenharmonic music theory areas of study, but for now this is just a hodgepodge.
Here is an outline of some ideas about how to make the Xenharmonic Wiki more useful to musicians.


* '''Introduction to good nonfiction writing, with an emphasis on exposition.'''
* [[7-limit]]
** Why are you writing?
* [[Chord]]
** What is "good" in good nonfiction writing?
* [[Chord of nature]]
*** Clarity of purpose: Strong focus on the idea being presented.
* [[Color notation]]
*** Clarity of statement: Intelligibility in the contexts of reader and meaning.
* Commas (Might better be presented as "Temperament families" with a list of important ones... Marvel, Porcupine, etc. and the commas they temper out.)
*** Clarity of structure: Nonfiction narrative arc.
** [[64/63|Archytas' comma]] (aka 64/63)
** How to write an effective nonfiction paragraph or paragraphic section.
** [[Magic comma]] (aka 3125/3072, small diesis)
*** Paragraphs present one idea.
** [[Ptolemisma]] (aka 100/99)
*** Paragraphs include:
** [[49/48|Slendro diesis]] (aka 49/48, large septimal diesis)
**** Always, an initial statement of the idea.
* [[Comma pump]]
**** Optionally, the definition of a new term.
* [[Comma pump examples]]
**** Almost always, how the idea connects to previously presented ideas (provides context).
* [[Comparison of mode notation systems]]
**** Optionally, how the idea connects to related ideas outside this writing (provides context).
* [[Diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic, subchromatic]]
**** Always, sentence(s) that develop(s) the idea.
* [[Distributional evenness]]
**** Always, sentence(s) that support(s) the idea.
* [[Extended bra-ket notation]]
**** Always, an explanation of why the idea is valuable.
* [[Extended-diatonic interval names]]
**** Usually, a summary of what the paragraph has presented.
* [[Extension and restriction]]
**** Optionally, a description of how this idea connects to the next idea(s) to be presented.
* [[Extra-Diatonic Intervals]]
*** Edit your paragraphs to analyze what functions every sentence is providing (see above), simplify wording and phrasing, use natural speech, remove unhelpful redundancy, create powerful flow between paragraphs.
* [[Gallery of just intervals]]
** What is an explanation and what are some types of explanation?
* [[Hexany]]
** Effective narrative structure in nonfiction writing.
* [[Isoharmonic chord]]
** Tone in writing: Encyclopedic, authoritative, monographic, informal, conversational, etc.
* [[Just intonation subgroup]]
** Recommended reading for learning how to write better nonfiction (to be added).
* [[List of superparticular intervals]]
* [[Nonoctave|Nonoctave scales]]
* [[Notation]]
* [[Pergen]]

**[[22edo]]. Wikipedia: [[Wikipedia:22 equal temperament|22 equal temperament]].
**[[Mavila]]
**[[Superpyth]]


* '''Every Xenharmonic Wiki article should include...'''
==Elements of good Xenharmonic Wiki article writing==
** An introductory paragraph or two that:
Here is an outline of some ideas about how to make the Xenharmonic Wiki more useful to musicians by improving the article quality.
*** Is accessible to most musicians with at least an introduction to music theory (i.e. college Music Theory 101).
 
*** Provides links to beginner and intermediate-level articles on music theory as needed.
*'''Introduction to good nonfiction writing (with an emphasis on exposition)'''
*** Presents the purpose of the article in a way that will be understood by someone completely new to the article's concept, with links to articles that are necessary prerequisites.
**Why are you writing?
*** Regardless of the topic (advanced or not), includes absolutely no math theory terminology beyond high school level, unless it is very commonly used in Xenharmonic music discussions and links to beginner-level articles are provided. If no such article exists, omit that terminology from the introduction, and present it later with a red link to create that article.
**What is "good" in good nonfiction writing?
** Sections that divide the article into different depths of understanding, i.e. that require the reader to have less or more preexisting understandings. More advanced understandings belong in sections later in the article. This is true even of more advanced articles, because in effective narrative nonfiction writing there is always a progression of understanding.
***Clarity of purpose: Strong focus on the idea being presented.
** No list or table without an effective explanation of its contents.
***Clarity of statement: Intelligibility in the contexts of reader and meaning.
***Clarity of structure: A nonfiction narrative arc.
**How to write an effective nonfiction paragraph or "paragraphic" section (a section functioning like a paragraph).
***Each paragraph presents one idea.
***Paragraphs include:
****Always, an initial statement of the idea.
****Optionally, the definition of a new term.
****Almost always, how the idea connects to previously presented ideas (provides context).
****Optionally, how the idea connects to related ideas outside this writing (provides context).
****Always, sentence(s) that develop(s) the idea.
****Always, sentence(s) that support(s) the idea.
****Always, an explanation of why the idea is valuable.
****Usually, a summary of what the paragraph has presented.
****Optionally, a description of how this idea connects to the next idea(s) to be presented.
***Edit your paragraphs to analyze what functions every sentence is providing (see above), simplify wording and phrasing, use natural speech, remove unhelpful redundancy, create powerful flow between paragraphs.
**What is an explanation and what are some types of explanation?
**Effective narrative structure in nonfiction writing.
**Tone in writing: Encyclopedic, authoritative, monographic, conversational, telegraphic, informal, comedic, etc.

*'''Every Xenharmonic Wiki article should include...'''
**An introductory paragraph or two that:
***Is accessible to the Wiki's not-actually-officially-defined target audience of beginners: musicians with at least a basic introduction to music theory. This can be defined as first-semester, college Music Theory 101, but is also commonly introduced to high-school piano, guitar, and jazz musicians.
***Provides links to beginner and intermediate-level articles on conventional or xenharmonic music theory as needed.
***Clearly places the article's topic into the context of music.
***Presents the purpose of the article in a way that will be understood by someone completely new to the article's concept, with links to articles about concepts that are necessary prerequisites.
***Regardless of the topic (advanced or not), includes absolutely no math theory terminology beyond high school level, unless it is very, very commonly used in Xenharmonic music discussions, and links to/toward beginner-level articles are provided. If no such article exists, omit that terminology from the introduction, and present it later with a redlink to create that article. There are certainly also alternative ways to address the serious Xenharmonic Wiki problem of inaccessible articles that understandably frighten off musicians without a higher math degree. There are occasional paired articles, one for beginners (e.g. [[Mapping]]) and one for advanced readers (e.g. [[Temperament mapping matrices]]) — see [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Beginner|list of beginner pages]]/[[:Category:Beginner pages|Category:Beginner page]]<nowiki/>s, [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Expert|list of expert pages]]/[[:Category:Expert pages|Category:Expert pages]]. This can be an effective approach but requires substantially more work.
**Sections that divide the article into different depths of understanding, i.e. that require the reader to have less or more preexisting understandings. More advanced understandings belong in sections later in the article. This is true even for more advanced articles, because in effective narrative nonfiction writing there is always a progression of understanding. Some possible terms for the non-math/math sectional division (these can be mixed and matched): Elementary/Technical, Basic/Advanced, Fundamental/Detailed. Some great examples of presenting complex topics in several levels of understanding can be found the YouTube series [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLibNZv5Zd0dyCoQ6f4pdXUFnpAIlKgm3N 5 Levels], from Wired.
**No list or table without an effective explanation of its contents.
**It might be reasonable to use the [[:Category:Todo|Category:Todo]] tags to mark articles that need a plain-language introductory paragraph. However, there several possible Todo tags that might apply and perhaps should be merged: [[:Category:Todo:add introduction|Todo:add introduction]] or [[:Category:Todo:intro|Todo:intro]] or [[:Category:Todo:improve synopsis|Todo:improve synopsis]]. Does Todo:intro mean something different from Todo:improve synopsis? See the discussion at [[Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do#Plain-language writing|Things to do § Plain-language writing]].
**Unfortunately, there are so many Xen Wiki articles that are missing an accessible introduction paragraph that it's hard to know how to begin such a monumental task. As part of a solution to this obstacle, I've put together an outline of specific articles as an "[[User:Mousemambo/Introduction to xenharmonic music terminology|Introduction to xenharmonic music terminology]]" that I believe are foundational for people just starting out in xenharmonic music theory. These articles are a good target set for beginner accessibility and readability improvement.
**Wiki sample/examples (to provide some idea of what kind of improvements would be helpful):
***Consider the first paragraph of the "[[Porcupine family]]" article as of 2023-Sep-06, which never actually states what the "porcupine family" actually is (what's missing: it's a [[Temperament families and clans|temperament family]]). This is not and uncommon problem: "The [[5-limit]] parent [[comma]] for the '''porcupine family''' is [[250/243]], the maximal diesis or porcupine comma. Its [[monzo]] is [1 -5 3⟩, and flipping that yields ⟨⟨3 5 1]] for the [[wedgie]]. This tells us the [[generator]] is a minor whole tone, the [[10/9]] interval, and that three of these add up to a perfect fourth ([[4/3]]), with two more giving the minor sixth ([[8/5]]). In fact, (10/9)<sup>3</sup> = 4/3 × 250/243, and (10/9)<sup>5</sup> = 8/5 × (250/243)<sup>2</sup>. [[22edo|3\22]] is a very recommendable generator, and [[Mos scale|mos scales]] of 7, 8 and 15 notes make for some nice scale possibilities."
***The version modified for clarity is: "The porcupine family is the [[rank]]-2 [[Temperament families and clans|family of temperaments]] whose [[5-limit]] parent [[comma]] is [[250/243]], also called the maximal diesis or porcupine comma.¶ Its [[monzo]]...."
*'''Every Xenharmonic Wiki article about a specific tuning''' should ideally include an early section about the advantages (and probably disadvantages too) of that tuning for composing music. Contrast the article [[19edo]] that includes that information, with the article [[31edo]] that doesn't. You can find the missing 31edo info at an outside article, "[https://31et.com/page/why-31-et Why 31-ET?]" Of course when a tuning is newly developed people may not know any compositional advantages or disadvantages. But any tuning that has a fair bit of music written for it is ready to have that evaluative information added. This would greatly aid readers and especially composers who are curious where to start. An approach to addressing this wiki issue might be to use the tag [[:Category:Todo:explain its xenharmonic value|Todo:explain its xenharmonic value]] to mark pages that need this info. See the discussion of Category & Template tags at [[Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do#Plain-language writing|Things to do § Plain-language writing]].
