:::::: 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 differences into account is that without such distinctions, 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. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:33, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
