:: Those are interesting points indeed. I agree with you that the convention should benefit the reader first. In that spirit, readers are more likely to recognize the spelling if they have seen it used elsewhere frequently, such as in the titles or descriptions of the music they listen to. | :: Those are interesting points indeed.

:: By the way, I updated the [[EDO]] page today. I'm using "edo" and "<span><math>n</math></span>edo" for now, where the variable <span><math>n</math></span> is written using the math tag, which makes it stand out better. As for numbered edos, I use "12edo" for now, which I think is not that hard to read since digits are taller than lowercase letters, and having no spaces or hyphens prevents any line breaking from happening. In any case, I'm willing to change it later if we decide on another convention.

:: I think multiple formats can coexist, each one used when most appropriate. For example, I generally prefer "19edo", but "n-edo" is clearer than "nedo", as you've brought up. I don't see the problem with using a hyphen in some cases and not others. I think "<span><math>n</math></span>edo" is a bit visually jarring, and not as clear as using the hyphen. | |||
:: Beyond article titles, I don't think there's a particular need for standardization of formats, as long as it's clear. Different writers have different preferences, and may write things differently in different contexts. I'll also add that lowercasing "edo" or "mos" doesn't inherently erase their meanings as acronyms. [[User:SupahstarSaga]] 2021-07-18 | |||
