Lists
... are normally done by starting a line with an * for each item (no surplus blank lines are needed then). --Xenwolf (talk) 06:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Great 🙂 I now also added a space after the
*. This is maybe a matter of taste, but from my experience this makes it easier to distinguish content and form. I hope this is okay for you. BTW: What about adding links to interval pages? --Xenwolf (talk) 09:48, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Link text
In my opinion, "Wikipedia article" is probably the worst text to chose for a link if there are more than one article you refer to. Imagine you only read/only copy/only print the text, all information where to look will be lost (Wikipedia has lots of articles). The easiest option to do better is using an interwiki-style link (i.e. see Wikipedia:Mediant or see Wikipedia: Mediant), another option is copy the original HTML title and URL (i.e. Mediant - Wikipedia) - maybe your browser has a plugin for that. At the risk of repeating myself: I really don't like these A/B links. They complicate the reading without bringing any advantage. --Xenwolf (talk) 15:27, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Right, I attempted to fix it with links in the style of Wikipedia:Mediant. --Aura (talk) 15:38, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Why do you prefer 77/64 over 6/5? Is it mainly used for melodic or harmonic reasons in your scales? --Userminusone (talk) 20:28, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's more for harmonic reasons, especially the fact that the best tonal harmonies- at least in my thinking, have all their notes as either overtones or undertones of the Tonic, while 6/5 doesn't meet either of those criteria when used as an interval between the Tonic and another note in the scale. That said, since 6/5 is a harmonic entropy minimum, it pays to try and find a ratio that's close by, and 77/64 is one of the simpler among such ratios, not to mention that 77/64 has connections to both 7-based and 11-based harmony, which I seem to use a lot. --Aura (talk) 21:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
