* For those who are interested in making more major discoveries than that, though, the fields that are still wide open are [[just intonation]] and [[equal-step tuning]]s.

** There probably are JI scales out there that are very very consonant, and also xenharmonic at the same time, that no one has ever found yet. There are so many approaches to JI, from [[primodality]] to [[combination product set]]s and so on, and most of them have been barely scratched at all in terms of discovering techniques to approach each of the tunings generated with that method. JI right now in 2024 is wide open in the same was RTT was in 1990.

** When it comes to equal tunings, most of the consonant ones have been ''found'' already, but most of them haven’t been ''used'', or at least not more than 2 or 3 times. Imagine all the consonant scales that might exist as subsets of medium to large [[EDO]]s, [[EDT]]s and [[EDF]]s that no one has found yet. Because how do you even start sitting through hundreds and thousands of possible subsets to find the good ones? Well that’s your job, theorist :) Again, I feel ''this'' field is as wide open in 2024 as RTT was in 1990. One of you reading this might very well name a scale that’s as important to some equal tuning as the major scale is to [[12edo]].
