It seems you were pulling data from Graham's temperament finder. Note that the first few commas for any temperament given by that app may not constitute a basis. For example, {4375/4374, 703125/702464, 2460375/2458624} isn't a basis for 7-limit 1178et since 2460375/2458624 is the difference between 4375/4374 and 703125/702464. If you plug it back you'll see it doesn't single out 1178et. I've fixed it. Plz keep that in mind next time. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

:Can I still use the temperament finder for that or are there better sources? --[[User:Francium|Francium]] ([[User talk:Francium|talk]]) 15:08, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

:: Graham's app is still quite good but you gotta watch out for what constitutes a basis and what doesn't. Meanwhile, Sintel's app is guaranteed to give comma bases. I usually do manual search for the simplest one. You don't need to do that if you don't feel like. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 07:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
