Revision as of 13:40, 30 September 2018
A few conventions have evolved in this wiki that would be good to keep consistent with.
(please feel free to add rules in use here, and please provide reasons for it! Thanks!)
Decimal numbers
Use the English convention with decimal point, when articles are in English language (which is mostly the case).
| correct | wrong |
|---|---|
| 701.995 |
L ogarithmic interval measures
For normal tables, we decided to stick to cent values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with, which helps in the development of table creators such as Piotr Grochowski's one for Selected just intervals by error. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the 12edo system of western music. Alternative measures are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. More than one logarithmic size column should be avoided.
Links
Links - both wiki-internal and external ones - should have meaningful text; something like "here" is not acceptable, often the page title is a good starting point.
