Linking wiki pages is simple

Hi Yourmusic Productions,
I saw you adding links to other wiki pages the hard way ([URL title]). The most important birth helper of the wiki idea was the ability to link notes easily and quickly. You can link to another page in the wiki by putting its name in double square brackets ([[page name]]). The easy way has also the benefit to show by its color if the destination page already exists or not (you saw this when looking at just fifth) See Help:Editing for more information. BTW: Welcome to the wiki community! :-)
In case you are wondering how to respond to messages, just write in the line below (with on or more : at the beginning of the line for indentation) and maybe sign your message with --~~~~ (this will be auto-translated into user name plus timestamp).

the page you created

Hi Yourmusic Productions,
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I read the introduction of Tuning various edos by ear as to see if the categories I was up to add fit. Maybe you'll find better categories or some more to add. It's currently only linked from you user page (short reminder: this can be done by placing the page title in double square brackets), hopefully there are other pages that can be linked to it.
Best regards --Xenwolf (talk) 05:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, it probably still needs a bit of rewriting to fill in all the metadata and put it into objective language. But better out of my head and in a form where other people can contribute than staying in the drafts forever.
Please remember to change the internal link syntax, the WhatLinksHere function automatically finds links using the internal syntax (double square brackets), but not the external syntax (single square brackets). --Xenwolf (talk) 09:27, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Commas, commas, commas!

Hi there, Yourmusic! I saw that you had made a page for the comma 557122275/556583994, which is pretty neat! My only problem is that this seems to not be in the 19-limit; although 557122275 has 19^5 within it, the prime factorization for 556583994 is 2 × 3^3 × 1373 × 7507. If this was just a simple calculation problem, then I guess you should fix it up quick! --CritDeathX (talk) 13:44, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

It's fixed meanwhile (557122275/556583994557122275/556583944). --Xenwolf (talk) 14:06, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Ah, wonderful! Thanks for the help, Xenwolf! --CritDeathX (talk) 14:13, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, looks like I slipped a digit when typing. Thanks for the fix. --User:Yourmusic_Productions 16:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


You are welcome. 🙂 But how to name it? (could there be other relevant pairs of ratios approximating the golden ratio - including corresponding commas)? --Xenwolf (talk) 14:15, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
The not particularly accurate 12edo equivalent one that uses the closest pure ratios to the semitone & tone would be (9/8^5 x 18/17^2)/2=4782969/4734976, which is 17.4591 cents Or [-14 14 0 0 0 -2⟩ The 19edo one would use 14/13 and 29/26 and come out flat but by a smaller amount, etc. Anyone who wants to crunch the math of all these up is welcome. --User:Yourmusic_Productions 17:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Okay, how are y'all figuring this out? I'm asking because I'm wondering what it would be for 159edo... --Aura (talk) 17:47, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Nevermind, It seems you can only do this for EDOs in the Golden Meantone series... --Aura (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


What about the Luster comma? That seems like a good name... --Aura (talk) 14:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
On that note, one could potentially call this comma the "lustrisma"... --Aura (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
How about a periodic table joke - as its very close to golden meantone, only sharpening the octave slightly to make the individual intervals purer, call this combination of pure 19/17's and 15/14's mercury meantone, and the comma by which the scale exceeds the octave the mercurial comma. That has a certain elegance to it, and just as importantly, isn't already taken. --User:Yourmusic_Productions 19:43, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Nice idea, looks like an alchemistic approach to tuning. --Xenwolf (talk) 19:59, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Cool. I'll get right on that. --Yourmusic Productions 20:05, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Harmonize categories of interval pages

Hi Yourmusic Productions, we are interested in your opinion about Categories of interval pages, thanks in advance for taking the time. --Xenwolf (talk) 21:21, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
