m Scales: Changed generator precision from 3 decimals to 5
Straintone and Antistraintone: Removed note about 24EDO because 24EDO does not have a straintone scale with positive nonzero step sizes

Certain scales, in particular the ones that are labeled as idiosyncratic in the above table, were named as such for certain reasons, as explained below:

=== Straintone and Antistraintone ===
Straintone was named for its "strained" sound when played, especially in 24EDO. Antistraintone was named after the fact that is it effectively the "anti-" version of Straintone, made with a generator larger than that of [[11edo]]'s Tetris scale instead of smaller.

Tetris was named after a possible naming of its [[MOS_scale|MOS]], "tetra-L tri-s" (4L3s), which could be shortened to "tel-tris," and then to just "tetris."
