Temperament naming: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

Conventions for naming commas/temperaments:

* The name should have something to do with the comma/temperament. This is a rule that is often assumed implicitly without mention.

* Stronger than the above, the name should ideally have a wealth of reasonings supporting its association (ideally ''uniquely'', ~~or very close to it~~) with the comma/temperament in question.

* Stronger than the above, the name should ideally have a wealth of reasonings supporting its association (ideally ''uniquely'', within reason) with the comma/temperament in question.

* The name should not cause potential confusion/ambiguity with other names. Note that an important exception to this rule is that closely related temperaments may have highly similar names; this is not uncommon.

* If a comma is named the "Xisma", then the temperament which tempers out the Xisma in the minimal prime [[subgroup]] containing that comma should be named "Xic" and the temperament which tempers out the Xisma in the minimal [[prime limit]] containing that comma should be named "Xismic". A comma page's creation should ideally always include a mention of both of these temperaments. The temperaments and obvious and/or strong extensions may be discussed either there or on linked-to dedicated pages.
