User:BudjarnLambeth/5- to 10-tone scales in 84edo: Difference between revisions

BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs)
m BudjarnLambeth moved page 5- to 8-tone scales in 84edo to 5- to 10-tone scales in 84edo: I had originally made these pages “5 to 8 tone scales” because I misremembered reading that there was something special about scales with 5 to 8 tones. On one of the wikifuture/wishlist pages, Inthar listed highlighting 5 to 10 tone scales as a goal, which I agree is a good idea, so I’m converting these articles to focus on 5 to 10 tone scales instead, in service of that.
