| == Italic continuum names ==
| |
| There are a few things here which haven't been defined formally as regular temperaments:
| |
| | |
| contrapyth, italic, middletown, calenda, corcovado, janeiro, notre dame, annapolis, esmeralda, hugo, jamestown, kilometric, lampante, marchettus, monocacy, napoli, oriole, potomac, rosada, shenandoah, victoria
| |
| | |
| These appear to be from Joseph Ruhf's "italic continuum" page here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/xenharmonic/10151070640989482/
| |
| | |
| Since this page is supposed to only handle the things formally defined as regular temperaments, e.g. tuning systems which exist on some JI group and which temper out a set of commas, we should formally define all of these in those terms as regular temperaments before listing them here.
| |
| | |
| So how are the above temperaments defined? What subgroup are they defined over, and what commas do they temper out?

| Alternatively, they could all be moved to a separate page.

| I've just looked at the Italic Continuum document, and it provides no explanation of what these things mean or why we should care. I think an Italic Continuum page which did both these things would be a good start.

| These are all from Joseph Ruhf's "italic" family, posted on Facebook here:

| These are certainly interesting tunings, but aren't the same things we're talking about when we mention "temperaments" - we're talking specifically about the things on the "regular temperament" page, e.g. things which exist in a JI group and temper out a set of commas.
| |
| | |
| I would encourage Joseph to continue to develop his work, however! To organize all of this better, I'm going to move the Italic names over to a new "Italic continuum names" page.

| == myna, minor? ==
| |
| Is the fact that "myna" sounds like "minor" and the myna generator is a minor third just an odd coincidence?

| I'm not sure I remember well enough to be certain, but that definately rings a bell.

| Thanks for putting this page together, guys; I'm always curious about this!
