For the chord lists I used This generator on Scratch as well as A tool to convert spaces into newlines because copy-pasting long lists is awkward.--Overthink (talk) 04:03, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Now that I think about it, scratch isn't very efficient and I should instead use python like Godtone does.--Overthink (talk) 17:08, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Chord classification

Some temperaments temper out commas that lead chords which otherwise come in otonal-utonal pairs to become neutralized, such as 7:8:9 and 9:10:11 in superpyth. In Chords of huygens, the neutralized 8:9:10 and 11:14:18 chords are both classified as otonal, while in Chords of mohajira, the neutralized 10:11:12 chord is classified as utonal. I believe this is based on the transversal, as the 8:9:10, 11:14:18, and 10:11:12 chords are generated as 1-9/8-5/4, 1-14/9-11/9, and 1-20/11-5/3 respectively. However, classifying these chords as otonal or utonal is misleading, so there should be a convention; perhaps ambitonal, or another term entirely.--Overthink (talk) 21:37, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I believe it would be better to discuss this on Talk:Dyadic chord.--Overthink (talk) 23:17, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
