Module:Lumatone mapping intro

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module should not be invoked directly; use its corresponding template instead: Template:Lumatone mapping intro.

This module automatically fills in the introduction for Lumatone keyboard mappings for EDOs.

Since the Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean is based on the chain of fifths, the intro text will depend on how accurately an EDO approximates 3/2 and how many mutually-exclusive circles of fifths it has.
