There are cases where monzo notation translates simple-to-read ratios into hard-to-read expressions, see for example [[19/16]]. [[User:Eliora|Eliora]] now [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=293edo&curid=7011&diff=81384&oldid=81199 introduced a notation] that I was thinking about for years: {{monzo|-4 0<sup>6</sup> 1}} instead of {{monzo|-4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1}}. What do others think about it? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:50, 28 November 2021 (UTC) | There are cases where monzo notation translates simple-to-read ratios into hard-to-read expressions, see for example [[19/16]].

: There are also cases like [[29/23]] where lots of low-order primes have to be skipped. In terms of readability, I would prefer {{monzo|0<sup>9</sup> -1 1}} to {{monzo|0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 1}}. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC) | : There are also cases like [[29/23]] where lots of low-order primes have to be skipped at the beginning.
