:::: To be frank, even though "whopper" and "wheeny" don't feel all that serious, I kind of feel the same way about "bright/baby", but I'm still willing to work with these as needed. Perhaps we should dig through the thesaurus to come up with better letters and corresponding interval modifier names...

:::: On another note, now that you have explained things a bit more, I do agree that we need to be able to notate 7/4 as both a subminor seventh and as a sort of sixth, as that reflects the functional realities concerning that interval. I do not intend to do away with super and sub, though do I think we need to come up with a more consistent strategy for reflecting the functional realities. To that end, I propose that we restrict the arithmetic ambiguities to primes that are more readily characterized by equivalent functional ambiguities, such as the 7-prime. For instance, the pentacircle comma allows us to access the functionality of 7/4 as a third relative to 11/8, and thus, as a sixth, while the Archytas' Subchroma allows us access to 7/4 when it acts as a subminor seventh- yes, I'm calling 64/63 "Archytas' Subchroma" for the moment because it often does have a sort of chromatic function when not treated as a comma. I hope this idea makes more sense. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 00:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
