:: The split was because it was difficult both read and edit the huge uninterrupted wall of table. The | :: The split was because it was difficult both read and edit the huge uninterrupted wall of table. The reason multiples of 150c were chosen is because they are the only spots which have nice round numbers which aren't in the middle of any of the temperaments already listed (eg not breaking porcupine or tetracot or any other temperament in half). Multiples of 200c would work too, but I went with 150c because that means each section is shorter thus more readable. But the choices were 150s or 200s. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 10:41, 20 October 2025 (UTC). | ||
:: I don't think the subheadings are likely to introduce any bias - it's not like I said "150-300c is the best range, all the others smell!", I don't think there's anything that would lead a reader to preference one over another.

: I get it now. Gordon | : I get it now. Gordon named frost, not me, but I did encourage him to come up with ''a'' name, and I was very encouraging of "frost" as a name when he came up with it (see the 343edo thread in the forum channel of the XA Discord). Before I did, I did search the wiki for "frost" and there were no results that seemed to indicate it was taken so I gave the go ahead. Maybe it can be renamed to "frosted", "frosty", etc. Talk to Gordon and whatever he says, do that. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 10:46, 20 October 2025 (UTC) | ||
