Talk:34edo
The "notations" paragraph
"The chain of fifths gives you the seven naturals, and their sharps and flats. The sharp or flat of a note is (what is commonly called) a neutral second away – the double-sharp means a minor third away from the natural. This has led certain "complainers", in seeking to notate 17 edo, to create an extra character to raise something a small step of which. To render this symbol philosophically harmonious with 34 tone equal temperament, a symbol indicating an adjustment of 1/34 up or down serves the purpose by using two of it, doubled laterally or vertically as composer. This however emphasizes certain aspects of 34edo which may not be most efficient expressions of some musical purposes. Users can construct their own notation to the needs of the music and performer. As an example, a system with 15 "nominals" like A, B, C … F, instead of seven, might be waste – of paper, or space, or memory if they aren't used consecutively frequently. The system spelled out here has familiarity as an advantage and disadvantage. The spacing of the nominals and lines is the same. Dense chords of certain types would be very impossible to notate. Finally, the table uses ^ and v for "up" and "down", but these might be reserved for adjustments of 1/68th of an octave, being hollow, and filled in triangles are recommended. "
This sounds more like someone thinking out loud than a carefully made proposal for a notation system. Now that we have ups and downs as the wiki standard, could this be cleaned up or removed? Inthar (talk) 04:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Who composed Ascension?
While sorting the list I have noticed that there was this piece without naming a composer. So I clicked on the link which still worked to find out more about the composer. I only found out that the composer named themselves heraclitus3125. Who is this person? Can someone find out more and add this information if possible? --Francium (talk) 10:06, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- heraclitus3125 is Peter Kosmorsky's username on the Internet Archive, there are several other music links on the wiki that make it clear. I also believe that User:Spt3125 is the corresponding wiki user, seeing that they did not seem to deny the fact in a discussion on User talk:Spt3125 (although it isn't as explicit). --Fredg999 (talk) 21:17, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
