* things on here can be very hard to understand. this is not controversial.

* It's hard to find a page you're looking for even if you know what it's about, but especially if you don't know whether such a page exists in the first place. Important pages for starters should be accessible by following links from the main page. In particular, I'd like a "bird's eye view of bird's eye view pages" page to be linked on the main page.

* ~~Octave~~ equivalence is assumed ''everywhere''. 5/2 and 5/4 are the same as much as 9/8 and 10/9 are the same; treating them the same can be useful in certain contexts, but they are not fundamentally the same thing. And in a space dedicated to exploring new tuning and music, it is very silly and annoying to ~~constantly~~ assume octaves essentially don't matter. ~~(Tritave equivalence isn't a solution~~, ~~it just moves the problem. I think~~ ''every'' pitch should be considered its own ~~thing~~.)

* Period equivalence is assumed ''everywhere''. 5/2 and 5/4 are the same as much as 9/8 and 10/9 are the same; treating them the same can be useful in certain contexts, but they are not fundamentally the same thing. And in a space dedicated to exploring new tuning and music, it is very silly and annoying to always assume octaves (or tritaves or whatever else) essentially don't matter. Classifying pitches can be useful, but ''every'' pitch should be considered its own pitch.
