So you insist adding them back. Do you know what they mean? DE is apparently synonymous to MOS, but which MOS? And which mode? Why would one want to know the difference in cent values between a certain ~~edo~~ and every smaller ~~edos~~? [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 11:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

:: Here the DE is a misnomer for ME isn't it? And should be measured in symmetric mode only? [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 12:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

::: DE means [[distributional evenness]] of a scale. Distributionally-even scales include MOS scales, which is a scale in which every interval except for the period comes in two sizes. So, interval differences between distributionally-even scales and smaller EDOs may be measured in symmetric mode.
