Merge with Srutal and diaschismic

Leaving this as a note here that I'll try to merge the two pages. ("Srutal and diaschismic" covers 2.3.5.7.17 diaschismic and full 17-limit srutal; "srutal" is a way more complex extension so I don't really mind if its interval table disappears; the one on this page is serviceable for full 17-limit diaschismic though I'd ideally want to separate the 2.3.5.17 core from the further extensions, and this page should really prioritize the basic 2.3.5.17 temperament.) -- Lériendil (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

And nomenclature is particularly thorny for this temperament because it de-facto has two canonical extensions, srutal (34d&46) and diaschismic (46&58), given that it's referred to by both names in the 5-limit. I'd personally vote for renaming the 5-limit temperament simply to "diaschismic", but it makes the canonicity of the 46&58 extension especially dubious. I think it might be best to transfer over the material from my page concerning septimal diaschismic that I can, while repurposing the rest of that page for general discussion about diaschismic extensions. -- Lériendil (talk) 19:45, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

5-limit = diaschismic. It's canonical extension (12 & 46) is diaschismic.

Pajara is actually the only other viable extension of diaschismic that I can take seriously. It's not accurate for sure, but it does what it does well.

I have not and will never use the term "srutal". 34d&46 is hopeless, just look at the badness ranking.

2.3.5.17 is interesting for sure but I can't say I'm impressed by it in practice. The subgroups doesn't particularly open up many new possibilities.

Idk if this is useful lol just ranting now.
