::::::::: In the Xen Wiki and Graham Breed's temperament finder and the tuning archives, the term "map" (and not "mapping") already consistently refers to an individual row of the form ⟨...]. This is in the case of a "tuning map", which maps from generators to cents. This is a map in "tuning space". By analogy, a val is therefore a map in "temperament space", and so it would be perfectly consistent with existing terminology, to refer to a val as a "temperament map" as opposed to a temperament mapping. We are merely proposing that an unqualified "map" should be assumed to be a temperament map, i.e. a val, not a tuning map. Or at least that when it is clear from the context that it is a temperament map, the qualifier "temperament" can be dropped. --[[User:Dave Keenan|Dave Keenan]] ([[User talk:Dave Keenan|talk]]) 16:29, 6 October 2021 (UTC) | ::::::::: In the Xen Wiki and Graham Breed's temperament finder and the tuning archives, the term "map" (and not "mapping") already consistently refers to an individual row of the form ⟨...].

:::::::::: I guess I agree that ''map'' is a possible replacement for ''val'', but my point has always been practical. What's the plan? How do you make all the RTT users forget about ''val''? How about all these pages? The letter ''V'' in the formulae? [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 00:24, 7 October 2021 (UTC) | |||
