While I get that the order of sharpness here refers to the 3/2, I don't get why. 3/2 isn't especially important to porcupine. I mean sure, it's a consonance, but it's -3 generators.

I think it makes more sense to talk about how sharp a tuning is based on the sharpness of the generator, rather than the sharpness of -3 of them, so I'd call opossum (generator around 160c) flatter than porky (generator around 164c), rather than sharper.

: Makes sense, tho I think it's best to follow ploidacot specs. Since porcupine is omega-tricot it's prolly best to base the sharpness of tunings on 4/3 (and thus the ~11/10 generator) rather than 3/2. In most cases however, 3/2 should be preferred over 4/3.
