Extension renaming

I don't like Cassaschismic's name. It's almost Cassa(ndra), but definitely not schismic. Since it adds 5 and 13 to Gary, I propose Willy, since it also tempers out the wilschisma conecting 5 and 13, and since it kinda goes with proper name temperaments. And it's kinda cute.

Now that I'm at it, I might as well propose Androschismic Andy instead, but that's a worse temp. --Eufalesio (talk) 16:30, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

This isn't a problem unique to cassaschismic. It's right there in garischismic, which you can say is almost garibaldi but definitely not schismic. It would have been better if garischismic was never proposed and we called it septischismic instead.

By proposing willy you're aware that this temperament is a strong extension of the 2.3.5.13-subgroup temp named will? I'm thinking about the possibility of making this temperament the canonical extension, in which case we'll change will to willy as well. As an alternative it can also be the canonical extension of garischismic, hence getting rid of its distinct name.

On the garischismic stuff you're right; we could pull a 180 and call [25 -14 0 -1⟩ garyma or garisma, freeing ourselves of the "schismic" association. Now that you mention it, we could have gary for 2.3.7/2.3.7.11, garic for 7-limit and 11-limit, willy for 2.3.5.13(.19), and some portmanteau for the rank-3 that has all. Wilgar? Possibly something new like Erin? --Eufalesio (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

I wouldn’t want to rename a temperament based on one person’s opinions alone. We need to hold some sort of community vote or something. Plus, if we’re disassociating non-schismic commas/temperaments from schismic, then what about the syntonoschisma, slendroschisma, and possibly ones I don’t even know about? hotcrysta l0 17:27, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Let it be held then. I will say however, I don't really care about people changing temps of names if as there's a good reason to change it, like dissociation from a very common temp (like schismic or slendric) or following standard patterns. --Eufalesio (talk) 17:57, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

I don't think garisma fixes it as it's still associated with garibaldi. We have many -schismic names so I don't think that alone constitutes a problem either. I'm in principle not against renaming cassaschismic but I'm only willing to consider canonicalizing it w.r.t. one of the temps I mentioned above (including dual-naming). —FloraC (talk) 18:31, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree with FloraC here. It’s not much of a problem. hotcrysta l0 19:03, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
