=== Aims === | |||
The aim of these procedures is to make visibly available all of the simple [[consonant]] intervals an EDO has to offer, without falsely including ones it doesn’t have, and without allowing less-important intervals to create unnecessary clutter. | |||
The aim is also to make subgroups of similar-sized EDOs look fairly similar so that it’s easy to cross-compare between them at a glance. | |||
