: Howdy here! If you want help with editing the wiki, there's a Conventions page on the left side of the wiki that you can refer to, though as a relatively new editor myself, its pretty easy to get the hang of things if you just look at what other people do while editing. On the topic of notation, I'd be happy to talk about it (and perhaps about 159EDO as well!). --[[User:CritDeathX|CritDeathX]] ([[User talk:CritDeathX|talk]]) 02:26, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

:: I'm glad to see that someone has noticed what I'm doing!  For the record, I do have distinct names for intervals like 11/8 and 16/11.  I call the 11/8 interval the "paramajor fourth" and the 16/11 interval the "paraminor fifth" in part as a reference to this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_fourth_and_minor_fifth].  Similarly, I call 128/99 the "paraminor fourth" and 99/64 the "paramajor fifth".  For the record, I do use "parasuper" and "parasub" as prefixes not only for the alteration of perfect primes and perfect octaves by 33/32, but also for the augmentation of major intervals and the dimunition of minor intervals by 33/32.  Because the dimunition of a major interval by 33/32 does not result in the same interval as does the augmentation of a minor interval by 33/32, especially in those equal divisions of the octave where 243/242 is not tempered out, I use the term "greater neutral" to refer to dimunition of a major interval by 33/32, and the term "lesser neutral" to refer to the augmentation of a minor interval by 33/32.  Do note that I use the Pythagorian chain of fifths as a base. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 02:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

::: Okay, I like the sound of this so far. I assume you use super/sub and major/minor for 7- & 5-limit intervals respectively, yes? --[[User:CritDeathX|CritDeathX]] ([[User talk:CritDeathX|talk]]) 03:32, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
