Talk:Meet and join: Difference between revisions

Line 89:

::::: I totally agree with Sintel. That's how I've always thought of it. I've never seen "&" used for the join of monzos. Can anyone point to some places on the wiki where it's used that way? In any case, what would be the harm in swapping those to "|" as in Sintel's and my scheme. Has "|" been used previously in a way that would conflict. So I'm supporting "&" for val-join, "|" for comma-join and subgroup-join. Then "&" is temperament join and "|" is temperament meet. Then "12 & 19" can be reads as vals or as temperaments, "&" works either way. [[User:Dave Keenan|Dave Keenan]] ([[User talk:Dave Keenan|talk]]) 09:06, 23 December 2021 (UTC) Dave Keenan

:::::: I agree with Dave and Sintel's proposal, at least as far as making it so that & is a concatenation (and reduction) of maps (meaning an intersection of commas and subspaces) and | is a concatenation (and reduction) of commas and subspaces (meaning an intersection of maps). I'm not concerned about which one is which, being called "meet" or "join" anymore. If I had clearly realized it was as simple as this earlier, i.e. that the only thing standing in the way of this simple of a solution was dismissing the use of & for concatenating commas as Mike claims has been done historically, I would have pushed for it. So I echo Dave's request for specific evidence of this usage, but more importantly his request for clarification on what the problem would be (if any) in changing them to use |. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 15:26, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
