Automatic color names?
Has somebody mused about generating suitable humane color names for intervals and other things? For example, for an interval, one needs to know whether to name it a third, a fourth, a sixth, but AFAIU they are often scale-dependent, and the same interval can have a “(color 1) third” name and a “(color 2) fourth” name. What can be done obviously is to enumerate the most sensible of potential cases (like if the interval is between 5/4 and 4/3, likely it will function more often as a third or fourth and less often as a second or fifth), but one needs to be able to tell for example if 7/5 may called a fourth, or there’s a sense it should be called a fifth way more often than a fourth. I’d try to write some code to guess appropriate color names, but having advice beforehand would be very nice. --Arseniiv (talk) 18:08, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
It would be also worth it to add this page to the navigation close to Help and Conventions, even if later. --Arseniiv (talk) 21:09, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- We'll do that soon. But I think that we should first have to clarify its structure. I'd prefer dedicated pages one per task (maybe as sub pages). We should have a handful of clearly defined projects available before we link this overview in the navigation. The style of the existing ones will silently work as a blueprint for future projects, so we better limit confusion to a minimum. a bit of styling (for the intro in the header) could also help to make this site as inviting as possible. --Xenwolf (talk) 21:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
