I think a lot of work being done here and on related pages is trying to "reinvent the wheel", considering we already have [[Overtone scale]] and possibly other related pages which might cover the same topic as well.

There are definitely many alternative names out there: [[Harmonotonic tuning|harmonic series segment]], [[Overtone scale|mode of the harmonic series]], [[Primodality|lineal segment]], etc. If each person tries to push forward their favourite terminology (in terms of how to structure the wiki), I'm afraid it will just create more confusion than necessary, even though I believe that alternative terms for a single concept isn't in itself a problem. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 03:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC) | I think a lot of work being done here and on related pages is trying to "reinvent the wheel", considering we already have [[Overtone scale]] and possibly other related pages which might cover the same topic as well.

I mostly agree with you. I didn't know of the [[overtone scale]] article's existence before you posted this, but reading it now it appears to describe the same concept as this article. The "Mode n" is the same as what this article refers to as n-ADO. So I believe a merging of these articles would be beneficial. | I mostly agree with you.

ADO vs Overtone scale
I think a lot of work being done here and on related pages is trying to "reinvent the wheel", considering we already have Overtone scale and possibly other related pages which might cover the same topic as well. I do think it is important to have this type of scales clearly presented on the wiki, but I don't think "ADO" is how most people would refer to that concept. There are definitely many alternative names out there: harmonic series segment, mode of the harmonic series, lineal segment, etc. If each person tries to push forward their favourite terminology (in terms of how to structure the wiki), I'm afraid it will just create more confusion than necessary, even though I believe that alternative terms for a single concept isn't in itself a problem. --Fredg999 (talk) 03:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
