Talk:Breed

Disambiguate?

Maybe this should be a disambiguation page between the temperament and type of val? I'm not sure whether either one warrants prominence. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 23:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

My take: the type of val is of more prominence; temperament names are somewhat arbitrary and less important. FloraC (talk) 07:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

I added the tag to it (formatting is todo). --Xenwolf (talk) 08:40, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Who uses this term and what does it even mean?

First time I've seen this. It says it's a "specific type of val" but does not specify what the difference between a breed and a val is. The linked yahoo archive suggests it's supposed to be an alternate word for val... is that correct? If so it should be stated. I'm also not sure that the rename "Breed family" -> "Breed (temperament)" makes sense either; the former feels clearly more correct, and it seems like this dubious-seeming page is the only point against that state of affairs... --Godtone (talk) 17:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

It's clear to me; it says that a breed is a map (val) for an equal temperament, such as ⟨12 19 28] (as opposed to any other sort of map, such as ⟨1 0 -4]). That must not be clear, though, so please reword if needed. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 19:25, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

"is a specific type of val which defines an equal temperament" doesn't sound like "is the same thing as a val" but I don't actually know if there's a difference between the two so I'm hesitant to correct it. --Godtone (talk) 00:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
