:::::: Full p-limit monzo is a long one in the first place. If you don't want to use zero, you only need to write in prime factorization. If it's hard to handle because it's long, all you need is a [[Wikipedia: Decimal_separator#Digit_grouping|digit grouping]]. For example, {{monzo|0 0 0 0 <sub>11</sub>0 0 0 0 <sub>23</sub>0 -1 1}}, oh no, too many zeroes. --[[User:Dummy index|Dummy index]] ([[User talk:Dummy index|talk]]) 13:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

::::::: There is already an established standard for abbreviating monzos with lots of zeros: http://www.tonalsoft.com/enc/m/monzo.aspx It was invented by George Secor and approved by Joe Monzo himself as you can see by its presence on his Tonalsoft encyclopedia, which is essentially an older (and still maintained) xenharmonic wiki. So {{monzo|-4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1}} would look like {{monzo|-4 0, , 0 0 1}}. I don't think this standard was widely adopted, but I think it's good. It's used in Sagittal materials and I use it myself. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 15:47, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
