Talk:Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments

This page also contains archived Wikispaces discussion.

Rename

This page is just a giant dumping ground for bad 5-limit temperaments. Shouldn't we just make new family pages for these, instead of dumping all the 5-limit stuff here and all the 7-limit and higher extensions onto "<7-limit comma> temperaments"? It doesn't make much sense giving the 7-limit extension under 7-limit collections instead of the actual 5-limit temp's family (for example Diesic under Orwellismic temperaments rather than creating "Dieisic family"), and it will make this page much less cluttered. This would be quite like if 5-limit meantone was placed on a page which was jumbled up with unrelated 5-limit temperaments, septimal meantone was placed on starling temperaments, flattone in keemic temperaments, and dominant in mint temperaments.

I can understand if the reason is that making all the family pages would flood the wiki, but this should be renamed to something like "miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments" if it's more for that than specifically very high badness temperaments. CompactStar (talk) 16:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Making families for all these temperaments certainly doesn't make sense. Your last point looks most reasonable to me. FloraC (talk) 02:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Alphabetical order

Temperaments in this page used to be sorted by badness. Is the alphabetical order more desirable? FloraC (talk) 12:09, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
