== Plan for roll-out ==
Edo pages which currently have  an "octave stretch", "related tunings", "zeta properties", etc. section:
* Done: {{EDOs|36 edo}}.
* High priority pages: {{EDOs|7, 12, 17, 19, 22, 27, 31, 41, 58 & 72 edos}}.
* Medium-high priority pages: {{EDOs|8, 13, 14, 16, 23, 60, 99, 103, 118, & 152 edos}}.
* Low-medium priority pages: {{EDOs|32, 33, 39, 42, 45, 54, 59 & 64 edos}}.
* Low priority pages: {{EDOs|111, 125, 145, 159, 166, 182, 198, 212, 243 & 247 edos}}.
; This standard will need to be rolled out to those above pages.
It can optionally be rolled out to other edo pages later.
; Things to note:
* When rolling it out try not to delete existing body text but instead rework it where possible.
* This section will ''not'' replace any "n-edo and octave stretch" pages. Still, add this section to the relevant edo page, but also link to the "n-edo and octave stretch" page at the top of this section, using the see also Template, eg: <nowiki>"{{See also|36edo and octave stretch}}"</nowiki>.
=== Possible tunings to be used on each page ===
You can remove some of these or add more that aren't listed here; this section is pretty much just brainstorming.

This user page is editable by any wiki editor.

As a general rule, most users expect their user space to be edited only by themselves, except for minor edits (e.g. maintenance), undoing obviously harmful edits such as vandalism or disruptive editing, and user talk pages.

However, by including this message box, the author of this user page has indicated that this page is open to contributions from other users (e.g. content-related edits).

The guidelines

These are draft guidelines for what a standard "related tunings"-type section should look like on edo pages, using 36edo as an example.


Useful links for working on this
Which tunings should be listed for any given edo
  • The edo's pure-octaves tuning
  • 1 to 3 nearby edonoi (eg an edt, an edf, an ed5, an ed7, an ed4/3, anything like that)
  • 1 to 2 nearby ZPIs (or any other "infinite harmonics" optimised tuning other than ZPI)
  • 1 to 2 subgroup TE- or WE-optimal tunings, based on the best choice(s) of subgroup for the edo
  • 1 other equal tuning of any kind at all (optional)

Additional guidelines for selecting tunings:

  • In total, 3 to 8 tunings should be listed.
  • The selection of tunings should cover a range of meaningfully different tunings (eg with a range of different mappings).
Further instructions
  • Adding the comparison table at the end is optional.
  • The number of decimal places to use in the comparison table is up to the user's discretion, as long as it is self-consistent within the table.
Where this section should be placed on an edo page
  • Synopsis & infobox
  • (Any foundational introductory subsections)
  • Theory
    • Harmonics
    • (Any short subsections about theory unique to the edo)
    • Additional properties
    • Subsets and supersets
  • Interval table
  • Notation
  • (Any long subsections about theory unique to the edo)
  • Approximation to JI
  • Regular temperament properties
    • Uniform maps
    • Commas
    • Rank-2 temperaments
  • OCTAVE STRETCH OR COMPRESSION
  • Scales
  • (Any subsections about practice unique to the edo)
  • Instruments
  • Music
  • See also
  • Notes
  • Further reading
  • External links

Note: This particular set of headings in this order is only how most edo pages look at the moment, but it might be replaced with a more intuitive standard in the future. If and when that happens, this guideline should be modified to adopt that new standard.

Example (36edo)

Octave stretch or compression

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 36edo tunings.

21edf
  • Step size: 33.426 ¢, octave size: 1203.351 ¢

Stretching the octave of 36edo by a little over 3 ¢ results in improved primes 5, 11, and 13, but worse primes 2, 3, and 7. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 13.4 ¢. The tuning 21edf does this.

57edt
  • Step size: 33.368 ¢, octave size: 1201.235 ¢

If one intends to use both 36edo's vals for 5/1 at once, stretching the octave of 36edo by about 1 ¢ optimises 36edo for that dual-5 usage, while also making slight improvements to primes 3, 7, 11, and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 16.6 ¢. Several almost-identical tunings do this: 57edt, 93ed6, 101ed7, 155zpi, and the 2.3.7.13-subgroup TE and WE tunings of 36et.

Pure-octaves 36edo approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 15.3 ¢.

36et, 13-limit TE tuning
  • Step size: 33.304 ¢, octave size: 1198.929 ¢

Compressing the octave of 36edo by about 2 ¢ results in much improved primes 5 and 11, but much worse primes 7 and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 11.6 ¢. The 11- and 13-limit TE tunings of 36et both do this, as do their respective WE tunings.

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave EDONAME tunings.

EDONOI
  • Step size: NNN ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by a little over 3 ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning EDONOI does this.

ETNAME, TETUNING
  • Step size: NNN ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by a little over 3 ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning TETUNING does this.
