:: This is a fun idea, but it doesn't belong in the template! How would the contest be judged? Would the winner be indisputable? There's already a section for musical examples. Also, larger edos tend to sound alike. If I wrote something in 5-limit or 7-limit JI and made two recordings, one in 53-edo and the other in 72-edo, I doubt most people could tell which was which. Because all large edos sound like JI. Perhaps instead there could be a sound file, like the ratio template has. For smaller edos, it could be the entire gamut of notes up to an 8ve. For larger edos, perhaps a 5-limit major scale? --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 22:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

::: I think a short example composition does belong in the info box. The musical examples linked further down are mostly works of art of varying styles written in the edo, and it's not always obvious to an uninitiated reader to what extent these pieces highlight features of the edo (and which ones). The point of the example composition is to be short (about a minute) and to specifically highlight unique features of the edo, with annotated sheet music to point these features out. (See the example by IIL on the 13edo page.) I think this could be useful for smaller edos (so not really 53edo or 72edo). The problem of course is that even the smaller edos have many features and which are worthy of being highlighted is subjective, and people might disagree about this. That's is why I thought Flora's idea of a competition was a good idea. [[User:Schrodingasdawg|Schrodingasdawg]] ([[User talk:Schrodingasdawg|talk]]) 02:09, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
