It's a nice system in my opinion. It allows to do pitch slides more smoothly than in any 12–tone system, such as 12–edo or well temperament. It's quite natural.

Traditionally, C-notes are a hard cutoff between octaves, so I'd say Cb4.

That means that I won't have to set the note names individually in my program, since octave numbers are fixed for custom tunings with equal-step option.

Latest revision as of 10:01, 8 June 2025

This article is deemed to be of high priority for the Xenharmonic Wiki, as it is often seen by new users or easily accessed from the main page or sidebar. Edits made to this article will have a significantly larger impact than on others, and poorly-written content will stand out more. As a result, it has been semi-protected to prevent disruptive editing and vandalism.

Please be mindful of this when making edits to the article.

This page also contains archived Wikispaces discussion.

Percentage precision

I like the percentages in the Errors table, but I think showing hundredths of a percentage point gives the reader far too much information. I would prefer to see 0%, -11%, -12%, -34%, +27%, -31%. --TallKite (talk) 05:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree in this. --Xenwolf (talk) 07:24, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
I'd still like to have one decimal place. It's a convenient way to check whether an interval is consistent. Here's a case where you can't with such precision. 15/11 in 19edo: -27-(-11-12)% = -50%. An additional decimal place practically keeps such occurence away. FloraC (talk) 03:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Working on this wiki for more than 10 years, I'm well aware that around 1000 pages follow the nedo pattern. What I'm trying to do is improve the accessibility to public readers (people that come from search engines or Wikipedia). What I think should be secondary is if it's comfortable for people who already know what this all is about. Please join the discussion under Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Conventions #EDO vs. edo (and MOS vs. mos). (BTW maybe n-edo could be a solution that fits all?) --Xenwolf (talk) 12:47, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

"Bad-tasted edit"

???? How was rewriting the 19edo theory section "bad-tasted"? I just wanted to rewrite that section to be consistent with the way I explained tunings like 5edo and 7edo. -- VectorGraphics (talk) 16:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I haven't had time to review your 5- and 7edo edits, so I can't comment on that. But these edo pages aren't your playground. Pls respect existing materials and work from there instead of starting from the ground up. FloraC (talk) 10:01, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
