: The structure you illustrated looks like a catalog by MOS scales, but we've got pages for MOS scales such as ''5L 2s'', which you might feel like working on instead (they're indeed in need of an overhaul). The reason I'm saying this is, the scale structure is a function of generator set, not temperament. Meantone and garibaldi are temperaments which, despite having the same generator chain, require vastly different approaches to harmony due to tempering out different commas. All temperaments in meantone family takes +4 steps (or a multiple thereof if the generator is split) for harmonic 5, whereas all temperaments in schismatic family takes -8. So if you're interested in scale structure, there are such pages; if you're interested in temperaments, I think meantone, garibaldi and superpyth are too different to be temperament-wise reasonably listed in the same page. | : The structure you illustrated looks like a catalog by MOS scales, but we've got pages for MOS scales such as ''5L 2s'', which you might feel like working on instead (they're indeed in need of an overhaul).

: A lot of problems in this wiki can be fixed by linking improvement. The navigation will be much more friendly to novices if there are straightforward, logical links between scala files, scale structure pages, and temperaments. | : A lot of problems in this wiki can be fixed by linking improvement.
