: I never liked the thing where, for commas that are in a subgroup, the full-prime limit version gets the normal "-ismic" and the subgroup one gets "-ic" instead. The full prime-limit temperaments are hardly practical. For example, for the semitonisma and centisma, the full-prime limit temperament is RANK 6 (I have seldom seen anything above rank-3) and the subgroup temperaments are rank-2 (so definitely deserve the "normal" name). That being said, that naming looks like something of a convention now (discussion about changing it is off-topic here), so the 2.3.5.17 rank-3 temperament should probably be charic.

:: I answered this in Discord once. If you start with 17-limit JI, which is rank-7, it makes sense to reduce its rank from there by tempering out only the necessary commas that are pumped. Another good reason for such an approach is that it frees you from dealing with numerous uninteroperable subgroups. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:38, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
