::: So it seems my worries were for nothing: ''z'' is a usual fricative [z] here! At [https://youtu.be/DdjGOfTnWXg?t=202 3:22] is “Joe Monzo” and at [https://youtu.be/DdjGOfTnWXg?t=4333 1:12:13] is “so he called it a monzo”. --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 15:49, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

:@Arseniiv: The term "monzo" was after me by Gene Ward Smith. My ancestry is Italian, in which language letters are always pronounced the same. The "z" in my name is pronounced like the"z" in "zebra". A "zz" in Italian is pronounced like "ts" in English. However, in Italian the "o"s in my name should be pronounced like all of those in "Yoko Ono", but often in America (where I live), only the final "o" is pronounced that way, the first one often pronounced like the "o" in "optic", which is basically how I pronounce it myself.

::::::::: Ideally, our ''[[template:monzo|<code>monzo</code> template]]'' should provide more options for arguments. The current usage could be defaulted to <code>literal</code>, future parameters should include the alternative <code>fraction</code> with an optional <code>subgroup</code> parameter. If a fraction is given, it should automatically calculate the exponents. If soubgroup is present, it should display as [[smonzo]]. In my opinion, the implementation can be done in a Lua-Module, hopefully this will be possible. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:59, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

I personally generally like the subgroup prefix. So 29:23 would look like [23, 29]|[-1, 1>. I've used this in my webpages about Hammond Organ Tuning and Stockhausen's Studie II. [[User:Monz|-monz]] ([[User talk:Monz|talk]]) 01:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
