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)
- The page may need to have a big loud message box at the top saying to sort the temperaments in order of badness.
- Otherwise some editors won’t spot that the temperaments are ordered that way, as it may be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
- They might put temperaments in the wrong order not out of opposition to the system, but simply out of not even noticing that there is a system.
