Hello Xenwolf,
Hello Xenwolf,


We (including [[User:SupahstarSaga]], [[User:Fredg999]] and I) would like to resurrect [[Xenharmonic_Wiki:Things_to_do#Odd_harmonics_table_instead_of_prime_harmonics_for_edos|an old suggestion of mine]], namely using odds instead of primes. This is because odd mappings give more information at a glance than primes: odd harmonic mappings don't always correspond to prime mappings (for example, a stack of two best 3's don't always make the best 9), and subgroup interpretations can sometimes care about ratios between odds harmonics, for example, 7/5 and 11/5. I made a template implementing this suggestion here: [[User:Inthar/Template:Harmonics_in_edo]]. We also want to do this with other equal-step tunings such as [[13edt]].

Tom Price also suggested an additional visual idea I really like. We could try implementing that with Lua, but in the meantime I think this will do.

I'd just like to reopen the discussion about this suggested change. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
