Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject Just Intonation
|
This user page is editable by any wiki editor.
As a general rule, most users expect their user space to be edited only by themselves, except for minor edits (e.g. maintenance), undoing obviously harmful edits such as vandalism or disruptive editing, and user talk pages. However, by including this message box, the author of this user page has indicated that this page is open to contributions from other users (e.g. content-related edits). |
I have created this page to: 1. See whether anyone is interested in joining such a project (if you are, add your name under members) 2. Allow others to edit the wording of the project before I post it (anyone can edit, regardless if you want to join the project or not you can still edit this page)
If at least one other person joins, then I will post the project. But I will wait until the morning of 15 October (Sydney time) before posting it to give people a chance to edit it (though you can still of course edit it after it's posted as well).
Welcome to the Just Intonation WikiProject!
- Goals
- To write quality pages about just intonation topics that do not have articles yet
- To write quality pages about major figures in the world of just intonation and their theories and works (e.g. Harry Partch, Erv Wilson)
- To expand pages about just intonation (especially stub pages and Scala file pages) by adding more description of the subject matter
- To add visual aids to pages about just intonation
- To add music or sound examples to pages about just intonation
- To add citations or sources to pages about just intonation (where appropriate)
- Scope
- This project covers all articles in the categories listed under "Categories under Jurisdiction".
Members
Special thanks
- User:Yourmusic Productions for writing (and continuing to write) dozens of quality pages about important hexanies that didn't have pages before (I will move this to "tasks underway by members if they join the project)
- Nick Vuci for creating ScaleCircle
- Lériendil for bringing to my attention the relative under-exploration of xenharmonic just intonation theory (compared to xenharmonic temperament theory) on the wiki as of 2025
Open tasks
- Create a high-quality, encyclopedic article for every important JI scale, JI instrument or other JI concept, rather than just stubs or unexplained tables or lists of numbers.
- Add audio examples (of JI chords, scale studies, and of course actual tracks) to as many articles as possible, to demonstrate the musical properties of JI scales and chords.
- Rectify many names of Scala file pages that might be confusing or interfere with other uses of words.
- Establish a system to denote articles under the project's scope that demonstrate particular quality.
- Add scale circle diagrams to any JI scale pages where a scale circle diagrams makes sense (feel free to use any software to generate your diagrams; ScaleCircle by Nick Vuci is recommended due to ease of use and clean visual style).
Tasks underway by members

Completed tasks
Categories under jurisdiction
Templates
- Template:Under review by WikiProject Just Intonation can be deployed on articles that are determined to need extra attention
- Template:Navbox scale gallery can be deployed on scale gallery pages
- Template:Infobox chord, Template:Infobox interval, Template:Infobox AFDO and Template:Infobox IFDO can be deployed on pages about their respective topics
Further templates could be considered (e.g. infoboxes, a featured article template).
