For normal tables, we decided to stick to [[cent]] values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the [[12edo]] system of western music. Alternative [[interval size measure]]s are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. but "competing" columns with logarithmic sizes in the same table should usually be avoided. | For normal tables, we decided to stick to [[cent]] values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with.

Links - both wiki-internal and external ones - should have meaningful text; something like "[[Conventions|here]]" is not very useful for understanding and orientation, often the page title is a good starting point. | Links - both wiki-internal and external ones - should have meaningful text; something like "[[Conventions|here]]" is not very useful for understanding and orientation, often the page title is a good starting point. | ||
