Talk:365edo/Eliora's approach

How do you calculate this?

How did you transform 365.2422edo into 365eeffgghiii? And is it really the tropical year, or maybe a range of year lengths that would match to 365eeffgghiii? I'm more interested in practical help here, not higher math. Thanks in advance for providing some insight. --Xenwolf (talk) 12:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh, there is a whole lore of math behind what is considered the "tropical" year, but idealistically it is possible to calculate the "tropical" year as the average of equinoctial and solstitial year lengths, which as of present era in solar days is 365d 5h 48m 45s, and in atomic days is about the same value over millions of years. Also, there's only 10 octaves in the human hearing range so the difference is microscopical.

As for the val, I've simply calculated the octave compression that would come out of (365/365.2422)*1200, and then went to x31eq temperament finder and found a val closest to my desired optimal TE stretch. That val in question was 365eeffgghiii, and if compressed octave were 365 steps, pure octave would be 365.2422 steps. Eliora (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Linking back to 365edo

We decided to not activate the subpage feature for the article namespace of this wiki. The reason for that is that we wanted to be able to name articles after fractions (it's obvious that 9/5 and 9/8 don't make sense as subpages of 9). Therefore, linking to 365edo from 365edo/Eliora's approach is useful for comparison. BTW: It's also possible to rename it to something like 365edo: Eliora's approach. --Xenwolf (talk) 12:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I understand that, I simply saw things like 18edo/Inthar's approach use a slash, even though the subpage feature does not work for this wiki. If Inthar can use this format, I don't see why I can't. I'll consider your suggestion nonetheless. Eliora (talk)
