:::::::: I'm perfectly aware of the fact that two "semitones" add up to more than a "whole tone" in this system- the same problem on a different level, as they are ''still'' called "semitones" in spite of this- but we seem to have a way of getting around that in this and other systems by means of the double sharp and double flat accidentals... I guess you could say that I now want to come up with a similar solution for these "quartertones". Alternatively, we should not only mention that the "quartertones" aren't exactly "quartertones", but also that the "semitones" aren't exactly "semitones"... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 21:40, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

:::::::: Either way you look at it, and regardless of the option we choose, 33/32 is to the 11-limit what the apotome is to the 3-limit in terms of its importance for navigation. It is also true that I have now decided to include quartertone symbols to ease adapting the system to people familiar with 24edo. With this in mind, and with the fact that the precursor to the prefix "semi-" apparently had the meaning of "half" since [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/s%C4%93mi before the days of Latin], what do you propose we do?
