: First, I guess that I'm not the right person to ask about ''diatonic functions of notes''. Second, as far as I know there are no pages about the 35 [[12edo]] modes, but it could as well be that I only missed it/them. Third, I didn't compose anything yet. Currently I mostly help others to put information into the wiki ... I really like listening xen music of any kind, I also like "meditating" on intervals, that's why I uploaded several sound examples, especially those in prime limits above 5. But I also know that timbre is very important.

:: Well, to be fair, you are one of the people who runs this wiki- at least to my knowledge- so you're one of the first people I can think of to ask about even the possibility of adding information to the wiki about the diatonic functions of notes at various intervals away from the tonic- just as a guide to help microtonal composers. Truth be told, I think Mike Battaglia could also be of help in deciding and working on the matter as he's got experience with jazz, but still, it's just as well that I approached you about this because I don't want to put stuff on this wiki if it doesn't belong here. As to whether or not there are pages on the 35 modes of 12edo that are "proper" in the sense mentioned on the [[Periodic Scale]] page, I did find a page about what a [[Mode]] is. The reason I brought all this up in the first place is because I've found that in tunings closer to JI, the conventional Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Aeolian scales are not simply modes of the same diatonic scale, but rather, differing diatonic scales in their own right on account of using different tunings of their notes relative to one another for the purposes of establishing tonality. Locrian however proves to be an exception to this as according to my calculations, it is still a mode of the Lydian scale if you don't use 77/64 as the minor third above the tonic- I know I myself prefer to use 77/64 as the minor third above the tonic for Locrian as well as for minor scales in general so there's that. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 00:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
