== Kite's proposed format for the edo template ==

I propose step size, fifth in edosteps and cents, number of rings, and pythagorean major 2nd and minor 2nd in edosteps and cents. Indisputable and concise. If the fifth is M\N, the number of rings is GCD (M,N). This number tells us which smaller edos have the same fifth. For example, 72-edo has 6 rings. Divide 72 by 6 to get 12, therefore 12-edo has the same 5th. As do multiples of 12 like 24, 36, 48 and 60. If there are N rings, there are N-1 smaller edos with the same fifth. I'm tempted to add the sharpness/flatness parameter (# of edosteps per sharp sign), but this is just the # of edosteps in the pythagorean A1, and that's easily calculated as M2 - m2. 31edo example: Step size = 38.710¢, Fifth = 13\31 = 696.77¢, Rings = 1, Major 2nd = 5\31 = 193.55¢, Minor 2nd = 3\31 = 116.13¢. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 22:41, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
