Talk:Decaononic: Difference between revisions

Now it's in a much better state. At least it doesn't get labeled a ''temperament''. But this part still doesn't seem right: "in general, when the difference between the two is eliminated, what it really means is that the 'tone' is set to equal to 9/8 and the tuning completely misses 10/9." The term ''meantone'' itself means that the tone is between 9/8 and 10/9, and as I have pointed out, any tuning of meantone flatter than quarter-comma tunes the tone closer to 10/9 than 9/8. 19edo is particularly popular among such tuning options.

Thanks to Eliora for improving the article. I agree, however, that the statement about the tuning miss of 10/9 needs a correction. Also, regarding the term, maybe there's a need to consult those who speak Greek or Latin on how it would be called in the languages - inserting the 'o' standing for the English word 'over' between Greek or Latin words feels inconsistent. I guess it would be 'decaenatic' / 'decemnonal' if we were to make it fully Greek / fully Latin, but I don't speak the languages.
