"As one might expect, 12edo is about as accurate as it can be." Why might one expect this? --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 22:33, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

=== Beginner question ===

Just wondering why the generator for ripple is around 100 cents when the two intervals it equates are around 200 cents and 800 cents. I would think the generator would be more like 200 cents, because that's all you'd need to generate a set of pitches which demonstrate the comma. Am I misunderstanding something? --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 22:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

: Notice that 2/1, 10/9 and 8/5 only span 2.9.5, where a 200 cent generator does work. In 2.3.5, however, the generator must be split to give you the harmonic 3. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 04:02, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
