Point of this page?

Is this page useful? Most of the entries aren't commas, but simply 3-limit intervals. FloraC (talk) 05:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't see much use. It's just a long list of intervals, most of them very obscure. The only interesting intervals are those below 100¢. But all those are already listed on the Medium comma and Small comma pages.
Quite a few of the color names are not correct. I'll wait to fix them until we decide if we'll keep this or not. TallKite (talk) 08:51, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I think keeping track of the 3-limit commas that are tempered out by various EDOs makes sense, and that's the function I see this page serving. --Aura (talk) 10:41, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
Altho this page was labeled as a table keeping track of 3-limit commas, it practically listed most if not all 3-limit intervals under a certain level of complexity. The 3-limit page currently lists all intervals under 19683 i.e. 9 gensteps. Maybe this page could be repurposed as an expanded table of 3-limit intervals, subpaging 3-limit. Anyway, should we keep the table, we'd need to set a concrete criterion for inclusion and prevent it from indefinite expansion. Either we limit the interval size such that entries will be legit commas, or limit the genstep number such that it represents intervals under a certain level of complexity.

I'm in favor of us limiting the interval size such that entries are be legit commas. --Aura (talk) 11:49, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
