| The list of downloadable microtonal sounds is in good shape. It does need people to watch relevant sources (tuning and MMM lists come to mind) and add/update the links. A reviewing or rating system, perhaps also of CD releases, may additionally be helpful.

| === Fill out the scale catalogue ===
| |
| Sources for this: all the Yahoo! lists, the Scala archive, original reflection on new and old scales, pages of X.J. Scott, David Finnamore, Tonalsoft...? Have at least one sound example (midi, mp3, ogg...) for each scale, and keep in mind that this wiki allows you to upload files up to 5 MB each.

| Ever since learning about the [[MOSScales|MOS scales]] I have desired but not seen a good, thorough introduction to them, or to the two-dimensional method of creating scales. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

| |
| This could be sufficiently primed by mining the lists. But more importantly it would need to be linked to by a high-search-engine-ranking page. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

| |
|
| |
| : There are many unanswered questions there though, so please post your answers.
| |
|
| |
| : And if you have questions, please ask them there because I bet others have the same question too but are shy and hoping someone will ask.

| |
| Requesting interwiki for <code>https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/?q=$1</code>. These links are used by [[Template:Infobox Interval]] and captchas are annoying. [[User:Plumtree|Plumtree]] ([[User talk:Plumtree|talk]]) 15:02, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

| === Create table of interval pages for large edos you’re familiar with ===
| |
| If you are familiar with a large edo (100edo or higher), please create a “Table of #edo intervals” page for it, along the lines of [[Table of 99edo intervals]] or [[Table of 198edo intervals]].
| |
|
| |
| Please only do this if you are familiar with the edo, though: i.e. you have made music with the edo, or the edo falls within your sphere of expertise as a theorist.

| === More sound examples ===
| |
|
| |
| We should really add some sound examples - it makes regular wikipedia and other xen websites much more comprehensible/easily digestable.

| === Create a "comma names explained" page ===
| |
|
| |
| Create a page explaining how to interpet the following types of comma names:
| |
| * "31-comma", "63-comma", "241-comma", etc.
| |
| * "11-3/5-comma", "300-3/5-comma", "45-7/5-comma" etc.
| |
| * "87-15-comma", "21-23-comma", "59-5 comma", etc.
| |
| * "35-cycle", "21-cycle", "19-cycle", etc.
| |
| * "5/7-kleisma", "35/11 kleisma", etc.
| |
| * "19th partial chroma", "29th partial chroma", etc.
| |
| * "34-jubilismic", "23 semitone", "19-minor mediant", etc.
| |
| * "87-fold starling comma" (what does 87-fold mean?)
| |
| * "prima", "secunda", any other related words
| |
| * "trientone", "trienstonic", any other related words
| |
| * "hexadecatone", "hendecatonic", any other related words
| |
|
| |
| I would do this myself but I don't actually know what any of them mean.
