:::: Xenwolf, I think I can explain the logic of some of the weirder chord progressions in the modulation as well as why they work. One thing I seem to notice is that root motion by 3/2 and 4/3 works musically because of a strong harmonic affiliation. This same mechanism is at play for root motion by 5/4, 8/5, 8/7 and 7/4. On the other hand, root motion by roughly 600 cents also works musically, but by a different mechanism- that of sheer contrast. Root motion by 11/8 and 16/11 essentially brings both mechanisms into play at once- harmonic affiliation because 11/8 and 16/11 are the 11th harmonic and 11th subharmonic respectively, and sheer contrast because these pitches are located between 525 cents and 675 cents. The fact that this works musically is attested to by the number of people who actually find Folly of a Drunk catchy and actually enjoy the strange, unexpected modulation. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 15:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

== How about a page for discussing the current wiki projects and ideas what to do and their state? ==

I have seen such a page on a couple of wikis but now I can’t find how it was called. Something like [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Things to do]] or [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Noticeboard]]? I think a page like that would be good to make a rough list of mechanical mundane tasks a user like me may be able to do. I noticed you added a monzo and other information to an interval page and wondered if there many pages like this to help with. I already thought about writing a code snippet to print an interval’s mathematical stats like monzo formatted with use of this wiki’s templates, if it would be useful. Then it would find a rightful place in a section of this “what’s up now” page.

Anything in that vein. What do you think? --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 15:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
