Talk:History and philosophy of xenharmonic music

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Revision as of 03:46, 8 October 2025 by BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs) (BudjarnLambeth moved page User talk:Nick Vuci/Xenharmonics to Talk:History and philosophy of xenharmonic music: On 28 Sep, after a few days of discussion in a thread, 7 of 9 voters in the wiki channel of the XA Discord voted that if the main page were changed to make it more clear that non-xen tuning theory was also allowed on the wiki, that then this page should be moved to main space. The change to the main page has now happened, so this page is now ready for main space.)

Co-signers/endorsements idea

It seems like this document has alliance alignment potential. Perhaps if there were a way for microtonalists to co-sign or endorse these statements, it could carry more weight and be promoted out of userspace that way?

However that were implemented, put me on the list. Xenjacob (talk)

I'm sorry for not seeing this sooner. Life has a way of forcing one to focus on frivolities like work and family instead of important things like xenharmonics, but I've returned to this essay at the request of others and think this is a good idea. I will add a co-sign section at the bottom for others to sign. Nick Vuci (talk) 13:54, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Moving to main

I'm in favor of moving this to main, but I guess the question is, would it remain an essay (in which case the article should mention you as the author) or just a freely editable article?

I believe the latter is really the only option for mainspace, but it's up to you.

EDIT: Another option is to merge the relevant portions into microtonal music, which is a high priority article that really needs some work.

  • I support merging the article. It's primarily informative for the sake of understanding of the history of microtonal and xenharmonic music. Lériendil (talk) 15:36, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Clarify that this is Nick Vuci's personal usage of the term

The usage of "xenharmonics" varies quite a bit from what Nick has specified. --VectorGraphics (talk) 22:32, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

If we do this then I'd be happy for this to be moved to main space

If we expand the first line of the wiki's main page to say to say "The Xenharmonic Wiki is an open resource for information about musical tuning and microtonal music, including xenharmonic music as well as historical tunings and those of world musical traditions. This information includes tuning systems and their relationships, theory, math, and practice."

Then I would be happy for this article to be moved to main space in its current state without any changes, and I would be happy to sign this too.

(The wording of my addition is thanks to Lériendil with edits from Fredg999.)
