::: I think Sintel's first point was that the differences are technically (mathematically) ''quotients''. Imo ''difference'' is the better term cuz we're talking about ''intervals'', for which the frequency ratios are but a representation.

::: I've set all asteroid names as placeholders in the categories. I can make that more explicit in the ''Temperament naming'' article, if we want to. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:57, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:::: Unfortunately Xenllium is not really a great example to follow. Generally for commas it is helpful to note things similar to [[176/175]], where it says ''"It is the amount by which 11/7 exceeds two 5/4's stacked"''. These are musically relevant relations that people can understand immediately.

:::: It is true that there is generally less interest in high-limit commas, and probably for good reasons.

:::: Using my search tool (e.g. [https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/search?badness=cangwu&subgroup=2.3.5.7.47&edos=&commas=1176%2F1175 like this]), you may find that the comma is useful for constructing higher limit extension of popular temperaments such as meantone, miracle, marvel, etc. I believe this would be of more interest to the general audience of the wiki.

:::: EDIT: Ignore my point about differences, it's fine I just got confused.

::::: Unfortunately the low interest in higher-limit commas leads me to be interested in them. But thanks for the helpful tips, I will consider them in the future. [[User:Francium|Francium]] ([[User talk:Francium|talk]]) 14:09, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
