Quartertones and Diatonic-Chromatic Distinctions

Hey, I've been using quartertones with a kind of diatonic-chromatic distinction between the for a while. Specifically, two "parachromatic" quartertones add up to a chromatic semitone, but one "parachromatic" quartertone and one "paradiatonic" quartertone add up to a diatonic semitone. Specifically, I define this by breaking up a 9/8 whole tone into four parts, with three of the parts each being the same interval, in this case 33/32, while the last part is different, in this case 4096/3993. From what I've gathered, this seems to be the best way of actually breaking up the whole tone into quartertones, even in JI, as compared to other JI subgroups, the 2.3.11 subgroup accomplishes this division with the lowest odd-limit possible, with 4096/3993 only having four digits in either the numerator or the denominator, just like with the apotome. I bring this up here because I wonder what the people editing the page would think of this. --Aura (talk) 01:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Outstanding article

Seriously I think this is one of the best articles on here. If there was some kind of star I could nominate it for I'd do that

Seconded. I know I can dig up some early emails to Dave saying how this page was a huge help to me. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thirded, since it helped me to ultimately define how to make the layers of syntax for Syntonic-Rastmic Subchroma Notation. As an example, building off of what has been stated here, I'd add another row of syntax based on 24edo to cover "parachromatic" and "paradiatonic". --Aura (talk) 17:00, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
