m the edos that fail the monotonicity test are marked by an asterisk, not an apostrophe, yet it said apostrophe, so i changed it

GPVs starting with 0 are ignored as they would otherwise meddle with the results. GPVs starting with 1, 2, 3, and 4 may be regarded as trivial, and are not shown.

While looking at these sequences, an important consideration is whether a temperament tunes the relevant intervals [[diamond monotone|monotonic]]. If a temperament is meant to be used in the [[harmonic limit|''p''-prime-limit]], it is reasonable to request that the order of size for the [[odd limit|''p''-odd-limit]] should at least be kept. For this reason and for the sake of readability, each main sequence starts with the first temperament that passes the monotonicity test, with the entries before that point relegated to the exotemperaments databox below it. There are usually some more entries in the main sequence that fail the monotonicity test, which are noted with an apostrophe. Alternatives that pass the test but have a higher error than a previous entry are noted in parentheses.
