Talk:159edo/Notation: Difference between revisions

Line 147:

:::::: The problem, according to what Kite has said, is that these quartertone accidentals by themselves don't add up intuitively- for instance, two modifications by [[File:HeQu1.svg|48x48px]] don't add up to a modification by [[File:Heji25.svg|48x48px]] but rather fall short of [[File:Heji25.svg|48x48px]] by a rastma. Don't get me wrong, we can keep all four of the quartertone accidentals, but we still need to create four more on account of the rastma not being tempered out- that is, we need a distinction between "wide" and "narrow" quartertones.

::::::: If I understand you correctly, for an EDO that subdivides a the [[apotome]] into 15 equal-sized parts, we need "quartertones" that are 7/15 of an aptome but with symbols can be distinguished from 50-cent symbols not being used here? Isn't ''this'' the problem: that you wish to include quartertone symbols to ease adapting the system to people familiar with [[24edo]]? But if this is the case, wouldn't it be better to tell them "the truth" about quartertones: that they aren't actually quarter tones? Remember: the semitones in this system aren't 100cents either but we decided to use the exact symbols of [[12edo]]. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
