Picardy thirds example

> Picardy thirds became less common, likely due to the stability of 16:19:24, 12edo's minor triad.

Sounds like a bit of a stretch. Other plausible explanations I can think of include the less pure major triad making the two triads more balanced, or plain aesthetic shifts that have little to do with tuning.

I'm not sure if we wanna go over this level of detail and be this assertive about 12edo's historical influence on music styles.

Detemperaments

Why compress useful detemperaments to a tiny paragraph? Why no rank 3? I doubt that the continuum is is more useful than a select bunch of great detemps. --Eufalesio (talk) 11:09, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
