I'd say that adding interval sizes could be of use, even cent precision would do, something like this: | I'd say that adding interval sizes could be of use, even cent precision would do, something like this: | ||

And finally let me add that a 6-decimal doesn't add anything if the minimal differences is more than 2 cents. It's only harder to separate significant information from the insignificant one when reading, IOW the excessive precision just adds noise here: | And finally let me add that a 6-decimal doesn't add anything if the minimal differences is more than 2 cents.

:: There is consensus in the wiki that 6 decimals make sense on page [[Gallery og just intervals]]. The reason for this is that nobody has to worry about possible collisions when inserting a single interval. On individual interval pages we use 5 decimals, as a "canonical" reference. For EDO pages, such a consensus doesn't exist. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 08:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC) | :: There is consensus in the wiki that 6 decimals make sense on page [[Gallery og just intervals]].

::: I'm personally against these "phone numbers". Here is why: | |||
::: When reading, nobody has anything of these decimal places, because they are size specifications. Also nobody will voluntarily calculate with them by hand. It is also unnecessary to copy and paste them into programs, because it is better to calculate the exact numbers there (how to do this is described on the Cent page, which we link to on all occasions in the Wiki). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 09:14, 19 October 2020 (UTC) | |||
