Talk:Douglas Blumeyer's RTT How-To
Unicode Black Star (U+2605)
Technically, all options (★ ★ ★) should be the same: ★ ★ ★ --Xenwolf (talk) 06:44, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, what do you mean? That I should use ★ instead of ★ for some reason? Or that my table is incorrect and every cell should have three stars? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry for the confusion. I referred to this edit of you with the summary “hopefully superior solution for unicode stars” - these three star variants are technically equivalent, I'd tend to use the star character (★) itself via copy&paste, but your solution is maybe easier to type if the number is memorized. The best would be to include it into the Specials characters tab of the editing toolbar, here is a section Symbols that already contains things like

- Ah-ha, got it. Actually, copy-pasting ★ in was what I did initially, I believe, but it turned out not to be supported on my iPhone as well as whatever browser my first critic was using when he reviewed the page. So I took a guess at ★ and it seemed to fix the problem so I thought "good enough". I never noticed the Special characters tab before, actually, so thanks for pointing that out. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 20:52, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- Here is an update which might help you. I added two symbols ★ and ☆ to the Special characters → Symbols section of the the editing toolbar. Now you can just click/touch to enter them (it's likely that you need a browser refresh before, I used Ctrl+F5 for Windows/Firefox). --Xenwolf (talk) 16:04, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I tried using this star instead and it does seem to still work on my mobile device. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 17:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
"regular"
The article says:
> We’ve made it to a critical point here: we are now able to explain why RTT is called “regular” temperament theory. Regular here is a mathematical term, and I don’t have a straightforward definition of it for you, but it apparently refers to the fact that all intervals in the tuning are combinations of only these specified generators. So there you go.
As far as i know, regular here isn't a mathematical term at all. (If I'm wrong please point me to the right definition!) It seems like it was chosen to mean "linear" but "linear temperament" already means something else.
