: I believe it would be better to discuss this on [[Talk:Dyadic chord]].--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 23:17, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

== Extra column, what to include ==

Before we finish and move this page to the main namespace I wanna discuss what more to include. So I reviewed some of the existing pages. They are a mess! So as we're creating this new page, I'd like to take this opportunity for a fresh start without all the burdens from the old pages.

What I absolutely don't want is listing the rotations. Since now we have articles for individual chords it's prolly much better to link to them instead. Another thing I very much dislike is Kite's chord symbols; we should perhaps include common names instead, e.g. 1–5/4–3/2 is the just major triad. I also don't want complexity or odd limits. In particular, odd limits would only be 5, 7, 9, or 11; these aren't very informative. So, my suggestion is a single comment column where we list the ratios (in colon form) with links as well as common names when applicable. This will also allow us to mark out the plurichords.

: I believe it would also be nice to make the tables sortable by generation order and type. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:13, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

: Another slight problem, how do we capitalize the "Type" column? Right now there are some entries that say "Otonal/utonal" and "Archytas/valinorsmic". Would it be better to capitalize the second type as well, or instead make eveything lowercase? --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:35, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

: Also, you made an edit to classify some tetrads by minimal tempering. Then the statement "If the chord is essentially tempered, it is analyzed in terms of the transversal that employs 8/7 and 10/9." may need to be rewritten. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:47, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
