The notion that the diesis can be either +12 fifths (as in pyth) or -12 fifths (as in meantone) is sure to cause some problems. In meantone the diesis is a positive interval, but in pyth it is a negative interval; I think it is much more appropiate to say that the pyth comma is a ''negative'' diesis, as it is -d2, not d2. Fix dieses to be -12 fifths and everything works out. --[[User:Eufalesio|Eufalesio]] ([[User talk:Eufalesio|talk]]) 08:40, 10 April 2026 (UTC) | The notion that the diesis can be either +12 fifths (as in pyth) or -12 fifths (as in meantone) is sure to cause some problems.

: Nah, the diesis is always positive (in size, not in diatonic degrees!) cuz it essentially refers to a distance. The "negative" modifier is confusing anyway so I'd recommend against attaching it to an interval name. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 16:43, 10 April 2026 (UTC) | |||
