Harmonotonic tunings are not at all new concepts. However, the classifications and manners of specification for harmonotonic and arithmetic tunings described here were developed by Douglas Blumeyer in March 2021, incorporating existing ideas and further significant input and guidance from Billy Stiltner, [[Shaahin Mohajeri]], [[Paul Erlich]], Joakim Bang Larsen, ~~and~~ [[Dave Keenan]].

Dave and Mike independently suggested the term "step-monotonic" and prefer it to "harmonotonic" because it is more descriptive and mathematically accurate. Douglas does not disagree with those motivations or facts, but nonetheless prefers the name "harmonotonic" because it is friendly for non-mathematicians: it references the harmonic series, which is the core of this umbrella naming effort (with monotonicity merely happening-to-be-the-case, providing a convenient etymological root to reference).
