EDO: Difference between revisions
Cmloegcmluin (talk | contribs) it has become increasingly widespread in terms of some users on the wiki actively converting over to that format, but I think more evidence is needed to suggest that the community as a whole continues to shift its preferences toward ''n''edo vs ''n''-EDO |
Cmloegcmluin (talk | contribs) →History: this is a point about equal divisions in general, not equal divisions of the octave. and it wasn't presently entirely correctly anyway; no one actually writes "EPD", it is rather the case that ED was understood as E(P)D and extended to EFD and ELD |
