Talk:Equal-step tuning: Difference between revisions

: I agree with everything except the final point. I think [[EDF|edf]] as equal divisions of the fifth is already well established (e.g. [[9edf]] redirects to [[Carlos Alpha]]), while equal divisions of the fourth (currently in [[edIV]]) are very scarcely used. I understand your concern when you say "one cannot tell by the name if it's fifth or fourth", but I don't think people should even guess the meaning of an acronym; they will learn that 'f' stands for "fifth", which makes sense because it is the simplest interval between 3/2 and 4/3. For that matter, some people write ed2 even though edo is relatively unambiguous, so I'd rather make it clear what edf means for those who choose to use it. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 01:12, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

:: Agree with this. edIV should just be ed4/3 though. The edX page is actually so ridiculous I thought it was satirizing the wiki. - [[User:Sintel|Sintel]] ([[User talk:Sintel|talk]]) 02:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
