Currently experimenting with anti-diatonic stuff like EDOs 9, 11, 13, 16, and 23. | Currently experimenting with anti-diatonic stuff like EDOs 9, 11, 13, 16, and 23. | ||

Something I noticed in regular EDO notation, using Pythagorean names, is that the major third in a lot of temperaments is no longer the closest the EDO has to the just major third 5/4. So, with some thought from Just Intonation notations, I came up with something that I think might be promising. | Something I noticed in regular EDO notation, using Pythagorean names, is that the major third in a lot of temperaments is no longer the closest the EDO has to the just major third 5/4.

In essence, instead of solely relying on Pythaogrean names and arrows for edosteps in between (which can get unwieldy in larger EDOs), I considered making the arrow represent the syntonic comma instead. If your EDO has a different pitch for the just major third and the Pythagorean major third, then of course, it has syntonic comma that hasn't been tempered out. This won't change anything for EDOs with a syntonic comma less than or equal to one step, of course, but it could have an effect on even "sharper" systems like 37-EDO. | In essence, instead of solely relying on Pythaogrean names and arrows for edosteps in between (which can get unwieldy in larger EDOs), I considered making the arrow represent the [[syntonic comma]] instead.

For single edosteps, we can instead use a sort of slash-like symbol Bosanquet used in his notation, and perhaps stack them on top of each other to use less horizontal space. | For single edosteps, we can instead use a sort of slash-like symbol Bosanquet used in his notation, and perhaps stack them on top of each other to use less horizontal space. | ||

=== Cloudy scales === | |||
I don't know about you, but I love the seventh harmonic. The ''Cloudy Scale'' (named after its small interval, the [[cloudy comma]]) is a 5L6s [[MOS]] with [[7/4]] as the generator and [[2/1]] as the period. | |||
