Although I have yet to compose anything, I have on occasion thought that "notes between the notes" (to borrow a term from ~~_Hear~~ Between the ~~Lines_~~) would be fitting in certain circumstances. Several months ago, I stumbled upon the great radiation of microtonal music that is occurring on YouTube thanks to the advent of (semi-)affordable microtonal keyboards and software synthesizers that actually sound good. Surprisingly, the recent microtonal profusion seems to have a great overlap with a profusion of new classical music. In addition, I have found interest in old music that would now be thought of as xenharmonic, such as early Baroque works in quarter-comma meantone. And even if I never compose any microtonal music myself, this experience, including readings on this Xenharmonic Wiki, have been a wild ride in learning what it is that makes today's dominant system of 12 equally spaced notes per octave actually work well.

The parentheses delimit the input capture groups (and note that the "+" needs to be inside each capture group or it won't work right, and if you need to look for literal parentheses you have to escape them with backslashes, same as with the square brackets), and the \1 and \2 indicate the output capture groups, which also gives you the option to reverse them (for instance, if the table contained the ratios inverted, which was not the case in this particular example, but is somewhat common elsewhere). Note that the capture groups replace the overall regular expression (which was represented by an ampersand in the first version of the command).

The parentheses delimit the input capture groups (and note that the "+" needs to be inside each capture group or it won't work right, and if you need to look for literal parentheses you have to escape them with backslashes, same as already used with the square brackets), and the \1 and \2 indicate the output capture groups, which also gives you the option to reverse them (for instance, if the table contained the ratios inverted, which was not the case in this particular example, but is somewhat common elsewhere). Note that the capture groups replace the overall regular expression (which was represented by an ampersand in the first version of the command); this gets rid of the ampersand and its quirk, but it turns out that backslash followed by a digit does similarly strange things when looking at page history, but apparently not in a <code>...</code> block, so I had to change them to HTML form as well (convert each "\" to "&bsol;", but '''only''' in this explanatory text — if done in the <code>...</code> block, this conversion itself causes subtle problems). Apparently, Wikitext editing and history display get '''really weird''' when you include regular expressions in them, but it looks like I have gotten it right for now.
