User:BudjarnLambeth/Bird’s eye view of rank-2 temperaments: Difference between revisions
m Replaced content with "Currently under reconstruction. Will be rewritten from the ground up maybe." Tag: Replaced |
Note: I'm not sure if I actually will rewrite this because I don't feel that enthusiastic about it any more, but I spent a few hours writing this plan up so I'll post it anyway in case anyone wants to take it and run with it. |

'''Note: I'm not sure if I actually will rewrite this because I don't feel that enthusiastic about it any more, but I spent a few hours writing this plan up so I'll post it anyway in case anyone wants to take it and run with it.''' | |||
The previous temperament safari page had too many problems, so I will completely rewrite it from scratch based on the feedback given. | |||
The categories will now be: | |||
1. Relatively accurate 5 to 20 tone temperaments | |||
2. Relatively accurate 20 to 50 tone temperaments | |||
3. Relatively accurate 50 to 100 tome temperaments | |||
4. Relatively accurate 100+ tone temperaments | |||
5. Other 5 to 20 tone temperaments | |||
6. Other 20 to 50 tone temperaments | |||
7. Other 50 to 100 tome temperaments | |||
8. Other 100+ tone temperaments | |||
They will be subdivided the same way as before: | |||
1.1 5-limit | |||
1.2 7-limit | |||
1.3 7-limit subgroups | |||
1.4 No-2s 7-limit subgroups | |||
1.5 11-limit | |||
1.6 11-limit subgroups | |||
1.7 No-2s 11-limit subgroups | |||
1.8 13-limit | |||
1.9 13-limit subgroups | |||
1.10 No-2s 13-limit subgroups | |||
1.11 Higher limits | |||
1.12 Higher limit subgroups | |||
The page will state these disclaimers at the top: | |||
== Things to know about this page== | |||
* Temperaments don't actually have a set number of tones per period, you can choose how many tones to generate with a temperament. The categories simply reflect the approximate number of tones per period needed to reach the most important intervals of that temperament. For the purposes of this page, the number of tones required is estimated by the largest number in the mapping minus the second largest, with extra leniency afforded to temperaments with multiple periods per equave. | |||
* "Relatively accurate" means a temperament approximates its prime limit or JI subgroup better than most other similarly sized temperaments. For the purposes of this page, relative accuracy is decided by <haven't decided yet> | |||
* This page only covers rank-2 temperaments. If you don't know what that means, don't worry. If you're curious here are the [[rank-3 temperament]]s and [[rank-4 temperament]]s pages - but be warned, higher rank temperaments acan be difficult to understand and see much less use than rank-2. | |||
