== Diatonic Functions of Xenharmonic Intervals == | == Diatonic Functions of Xenharmonic Intervals == | ||
Okay, so one thing I'm interested in is covering the diatonic functions of notes at various intervals' distance away from the tonic- you know, for microtonal composers who still want to work with tonality- I honestly think pages like 3/2 and 4/3 could benefit from having information on things like this. On another note, do we have information on the thirty-five 12edo proper modes? Pages documenting these modes would serve to gather variations and alternative tunings for these scales and modes into one place. For the record, I know that in my own microtonal composing, I tend not to go very far from my 12edo roots for reasons detaild in [[A recovering microtonalist's critical reaction to Why Microtonality]], yet, I also can't help but agree with Mike S in his comments in [[Microtonalists critical reaction to a recovering | Okay, so one thing I'm interested in is covering the diatonic functions of notes at various intervals' distance away from the tonic- you know, for microtonal composers who still want to work with tonality- I honestly think pages like 3/2 and 4/3 could benefit from having information on things like this.

: First, I guess that I'm not the right person to ask about ''diatonic functions of notes''. Second, as far as I know there are no pages about the 35 [[12edo]] modes, but it could as well be that I only missed it/them. Third, I didn't compose anything yet. Currently I mostly help others to put information into the wiki ... I really like listening xen music of any kind, I also like "meditating" on intervals, that's why I uploaded several sound examples, especially those in prime limits above 5. But I also know that timbre is very important. BTW: today I discovered that [[11/7]] has a very convincing sound. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 19:33, 5 September 2020 (UTC) | : First, I guess that I'm not the right person to ask about ''diatonic functions of notes''.

You might want to check my sandbox and comment on my latest tests. The template ''temperament data'' is something similar to infobox interval and et. The ''collapsed box'' is nothing but a general formatting device. Let me know if either of them makes anything better.

Yes, it's corrected, and I just put some final touches on tidying up the alignment, so it should be ready to go on the article's page. Many thanks for your assistance! [[User:Mschulter1325|Mschulter1325]] 04:20, 15 November 2022 (UTC) | |||
== Add HEJI font to CSS == | |||
Hi Xenwolf, | |||
I'd like to add a bit of code to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] so that we can use the HEJI2Text font on the wiki (instead of relying on a bunch of SVG images, namely), but I don't have admin access so I can't do it myself. Do you think you could add it? | |||
<pre><nowiki> | |||
/* use HEJI2Text font if class="heji" */ | |||
@font-face { | |||
font-family: HEJI2Text; | |||
src: url(https://plainsound.org/fonts/HEJI2Text.otf); | |||
} | |||
.heji { | |||
font-family: HEJI2Text; | |||
} | |||
</nowiki></pre> | |||

: Hi Fredg999, would you please try the additions needed within [[User:Fredg999/common.css|''your personal common.css'']] and prepare or collect some representative examples (maybe just links to pages)? This would also be a good basis to better understand the impact of this proposal on the site and for discussing individual points with other users. Best regards --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 18:06, 3 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
:: I added a few examples to [[User:Fredg999/Sandbox#HEJI2Text testing area|''my personal Sandbox page'']]. Here is a screenshot of the result: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ZLax9RYqQg3-mQtV9YeKPC--2VmvR43/view?usp=sharing | |||
:: The main use case I have in mind is the [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] page, where we could improve the reference tables and give more examples efficiently using the HEJI font. I was thinking of adding a table that shows all symbols (a bit like the HEJI notation palette on [https://www.plainsound.org/HEJI/ Plainsound's HS CALC]), but also shows the character mapping, so that readers can learn to use the font more easily on the wiki and elsewhere. | |||
:: Most symbols from the [[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation]] could also be written using the HEJI font, since it provides symbols for each combination of the standard chromatic accidentals with one, two or three up or down arrows. | |||
:: Many other pages about just intonation could benefit from HEJI symbols as well, such as interval tables on various EDO pages (for easy up/down symbols as a complement to their "text" version; e.g. [[22edo#Intervals]]), as well as the [[Overtone scale]] page, where notation would be another representation of the JI scales, alongside the solfege notations already present, for example. | |||
