: Note that ''septimal comma'' here refers specifically to 64/63. I think the original author simply intended to show flattening the fifths by a fraction of a syntonic comma and then subsitituting the septimal and/or Pythagorean comma for it to give slightly detuned results. That's why I said these septimal-comma tunings were useless and proposed to remove them, as no one actively looked for them after anything than recreational-math purposes. | |||
: I think the author was aware of the harrison comma. The harrison comma is never called a septimal comma, and it shouldn't, except in the non-idiomatic sense where a septimal comma is any 7-limit comma. Idiomatically the ''septimal comma'' always refers to 64/63. | |||
: Adding the harrison comma ofc is a reasonable idea, tho I'm not sure how helpful it is. Basically every eigenmonzo tuning is a fractional-comma tuning. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:16, 29 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
