Talk:159edo/Notation: Difference between revisions

Line 153:

:::::::: 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 simply to include quartertone symbols to ease adapting the system to people familiar with 24edo. With this in mind, and in light of 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?

:::::: Those quartertone symbols should only be used in systems that tempers out 243/242, which guarantees the split of apotome into two. Whereas 159edo (or "15eda", to be precise) is essentially different. However, the solution is clearly present: simply use [[HEJI]] symbols [[File:heji41.svg|48x48px]] [[File:heji40.svg|48x48px]] for 33/32 will suffice for all undecimal work. If another quartertone is ever needed, it may represent 1053/1024 or 27/26 but never to mess with 11-limit anymore. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 08:02, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
