:::::: Now, some will undoubtedly ask where this process of coming up with labels for scale steps of differing edos should stop, and I have an answer for that as well. There is a step-size limit at play in which the step size should be greater than 7 cents. This is because at a step size of 7 cents, the distance halfway between steps is 3.5 cents, which, from what I'm gathering, is below the average just noticeable difference between pitches. At step sizes of 7 cents and smaller, the steps will begin to bleed into one another and become indistinguishable from one another to even the best trained ears. Thus, any edo with a step size of 7 cents or less is ineligible for this kind of extensive process of labeling different interval sizes. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 16:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

:::::: I can anticipate that some may object that I should draw the line for defining edo steps at something more substantial like 13.5 cents, but I while concur that an edo step size between 7.5 and 13.5 cents is not viable in the traditional musical sense as a step between consecutive notes, I do notice that it does have a usage as a comma pump, and therefore, it has musical value as an edo step size for purposes of modulation, especially for modulating Jacob-Collier-style between keys. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 17:49, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

:::::: One of the problems I have with notation that doesn't take these kinds of kleismatic motions into account is that it's hard to determine which note should have which tunings in order to accomplish a seamless modulation between keys on different circles of fifths, and I've honestly found that to be a significant problem with transcriptions of Jacob Collier's rendition of In the Bleak Midwinter in particular.
