Template:Infobox ET

Infobox ET

The template Infobox ET was built to help presenting basic information about EDOs in a unified form, to make them obvious by glance. Also the formatting of the wiki text itself is easier to read and improve when it is obviously structured by this template.

The templates supports the following parameters (highly requested parameters in bold):

Parameter	Meaning, usage hints
Prime factorization	Prime factorization of the equal temperament (e.g. 12 = 22 * 3)
Subgroup	The JI subgroup that the equal temperament is a temperament of
Step size	One step of the equal temperament in cents
Fifth type	The best approximation of 3/2, in edosteps and in cents. Type of fifth, for edos. (Some possiblities: mavila, 7edo, flattone, meantone, schismic, parapyth, archy, superpyth, 5edo, father). If the edo has more than one type, list all the types, separated by <br>. If a fifth is the same as a fifth in a lower edo, then state that instead.
Major 2nd	(To be removed) Size of the 3-limit major 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly (so that 16-edo's M2 is 2\16 not 3\16).
Minor 2nd	(To be removed) Size of the 3-limit minor 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly.
Augmented 1sn	(To be removed) Size of the 3-limit augmented unison 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly. This is also the sharpness/flatness of the edo.
Semitones	Size of the 3-limit augmented unison and minor second in edosteps, mapped indirectly.
Important MOS	Important MOS types provided by the edo (but not by any subset), step sizes and number of L and s, period, and generator if the scale has multiple periods per octave; for multiple MOS types separate by <br>
Common uses	Common compositional uses of the equal temperament
Example composition	MP3 file name of the 1-minute example composition
Composer	(only when Example composition given) Composer of the 1-minute example composition
Score	(only when Example composition given) Score of the 1-minute example composition

Usage example for 24edo:

{{Infobox ET
| Prime factorization = 2<sup>3</sup> * 3
| Subgroup = 2.3.11.13.17.19
| Step size = 50¢
| Fifth type = [[12edo]] 14\24 700¢
| Semitones = 2:2
| Common uses = Hyperchromatic 12edo, Westernized maqam, semaphore
| Important MOS = semaphore 414144141 (generator: 5\24) <br> mohajira 3434343 (generator: 7\24) <br> mohajira 3313313313 (generator: 7\24)
| Example composition = 
| Score = 
}}

Empty (Step size is self-filling) template for copy & paste (to avoid copying wrong values from edo pages:

{{Infobox ET
| Prime factorization = 
| Subgroup = 
| Step size = {{subst:#number_format:{{subst:#expr:1200/{{subst:#regex:{{subst:PAGENAME}}|/(\d+)-?EDO/i|\1}}}}|3}}
| Fifth type = 
| Semitones = 
| Common uses = 
| Important MOS = 
| Example composition = 
| Score = 
}}
