I thought that only users with certain "criterion of notability" or whatever could do that and EDOs themselves required notablility. Eliora (talk) 11:18, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Character encoding error?

Hi Eliora, I found an edit on 293edo by you that introduces a placeholder character. Would you please take another look at this? Thanks in advance. --Xenwolf (talk) 17:20, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

I did that on purpose, as a way to propose notation when there is a large consecutive series in a monzo. If another form is required, I will gladly replace the placeholder character with something else. Eliora (talk) 20:55, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification, now I see what you mean. I think we should by all means avoid the Unicode special character which is reserved to indicate an encoding error. Using 0 is much better, even if not ideal (superscript notation is unexpectedly switching from mathematical to linguistic meaning). But you are right, coping with zeros is definitely a weakness of the monzo notation.
BTW: didn't you mean [1590 012 293⟩ (alias [1590 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 293⟩) instead? --Xenwolf (talk) 21:39, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

You can ask me for the RTT table instead of trying it yourself

… if you're interested in such a thing before having a thorough understanding of what each part is about. It's important that these tables are correct, consistent, and conforming to a standard in order to be of some utility. FloraC (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

... Okay then, whatever standard you are applying Eliora (talk) 13:01, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
You progressed a lot just in a few days. And I appreciate it. FloraC (talk) 14:46, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. Eliora (talk) 18:13, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Is "dee" the proposed name of the 41 & 190 temperament?

Or "iranian leap week"? FloraC (talk) 21:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I'd say it's "Dee leap week", because now that I revisit this and think about it, Iranian calendar practice never implied the existence of leap weeks, only 1L 7s leap day cycle occasionally broken by 1L 8s or 1L 6s. Eliora (talk) 08:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Please use the monzo template whenever applicable

So as to reduce additional labor that would arise should we decide to switch to a different notation. FloraC (talk) 13:21, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
