Template:Infobox ET

Infobox ET

The template Infobox ET was built to help presenting basic information about EDOs in a unified form, to make them obvious by glance. Also the formatting of the wiki text itself is easier to read and improve when it is obviously structured by this template.

The templates supports the following parameters (highly requested parameters in bold):

Parameter Meaning, usage hints
Prime factorization Prime factorization of the equal temperament (e.g. 12 = 22 * 3). Can be left blank if the EDO is prime.
Step size One step of the equal temperament in cents.
Fifth type The best approximation of 3/2, in edosteps and in cents. If a fifth is the same as a fifth in a lower edo, then state that instead.
Major 2nd Size of the 3-limit major 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly (so that 16-edo's M2 is 2\16 not 3\16).
Minor 2nd (To be removed) Size of the 3-limit minor 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly.
Augmented 1sn (To be removed) Size of the 3-limit augmented unison 2nd in edosteps and cents. Edosteps are mapped indirectly. This is also the sharpness/flatness of the edo.
Semitones Size of the 3-limit augmented unison and minor second in edosteps, mapped indirectly.

Usage example for 24edo:

{{Infobox ET
| Prime factorization = 2<sup>3</sup> * 3
| Step size = 50¢
| Fifth type =14\24 = 700¢ = [[12edo]] 
| Major 2nd = 4\24 = 200¢
| Semitones = 2:2
}}

Empty (Step size is self-filling) template for copy & paste (to avoid copying wrong values from edo pages:

{{Infobox ET
| Prime factorization = 
| Step size = {{subst:#number_format:{{subst:#expr:1200/{{subst:#regex:{{subst:PAGENAME}}|/(\d+)-?EDO/i|\1}}}}|3}}
| Fifth type = 
| Major 2nd = 
| Semitones = 
}}
