ABANDONED.

These guidelines have been retracted due to them being largely not liked by most commenters on the XA Discord.

This user page is editable by any wiki editor.

As a general rule, most users expect their user space to be edited only by themselves, except for minor edits (e.g. maintenance), undoing obviously harmful edits such as vandalism or disruptive editing, and user talk pages.

However, by including this message box, the author of this user page has indicated that this page is open to contributions from other users (e.g. content-related edits). 

== The guidelines ==
'''These are draft guidelines for what a standard "related tunings"-type section should look like on edo pages, using [[36edo]] as an example.'''


; Which tunings should be listed for any given edo:
* The edo's pure-octaves tuning
* 1 to 3 nearby edonoi (eg an edt, an edf, an ed5, an ed7, an ed4/3, anything like that)
* 1 to 2 nearby ZPIs (or any other "infinite harmonics" optimised tuning other than ZPI)
* 1 to 2 subgroup TE- or WE-optimal tunings, based on the best choice(s) of subgroup for the edo
* ''1 other equal tuning of any kind at all (optional)''

Additional guidelines for selecting tunings:
* In total, roughly 6 tunings should be listed, give or take a few.
* The selection of tunings should cover a range of meaningfully different tunings (eg they cover a range of different mappings and/or they approximate different harmonics well or badly).

; Further instructions
* Adding the comparison table at the end is optional.
* The number of decimal places to use in the comparison table is up to the user's discretion, as long as it is self-consistent within the table.

; Where this section should be placed on an edo page:
<small><small>
* Synopsis & infobox
* (Any foundational introductory subsections)
* Theory
** Harmonics
** (Any short subsections about theory unique to the edo)
** Additional properties
** Subsets and supersets
* Interval table
* Notation
* (Any long subsections about theory unique to the edo)
* Approximation to JI
* Regular temperament properties
** Uniform maps
** Commas
** Rank-2 temperaments
* '''OCTAVE STRETCH OR COMPRESSION'''
* Scales
* (Any subsections about practice unique to the edo)
* Instruments
* Music
* See also
* Notes
* Further reading
* External links
''Note: This particular set of headings in this order is only how most edo pages look'' at the moment'', but it might be replaced with a more intuitive standard in the future. If and when that happens, this guideline should be modified to adopt that new standard.''

== Octave stretch or compression ==
What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 36edo tunings.

; [[21edf]] 
* Step size: 33.426{{c}}, octave size: 1203.351{{c}}
Stretching the octave of 36edo by a little over 3{{c}} results in improved primes 5, 11, and 13, but worse primes 2, 3, and 7. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 13.4{{c}}. The tuning 21edf does this.

{{Harmonics in equal|21|3|2|columns=12|start=12|collapsed=true|title=Approximation of harmonics in 21edf (continued)}}

; [[57edt]]
* Step size: 33.368{{c}}, octave size: 1201.235{{c}}
If one intends to use both 36edo's vals for 5/1 at once, stretching the octave of 36edo by about 1{{c}} optimises 36edo for that dual-5 usage, while also making slight improvements to primes 3, 7, 11, and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 16.6{{c}}. Several almost-identical tunings do this: 57edt, [[93ed6]], [[101ed7]], [[zpi|155zpi]], and the 2.3.7.13-subgroup [[TE]] and [[WE]] tunings of 36et.

{{Harmonics in equal|57|3|1|columns=12|start=12|collapsed=true|title=Approximation of harmonics in 57edt (continued)}}

; 36edo
* Step size: 33.333{{c}}, octave size: 1200.000{{c}} 
Pure-octaves 36edo approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 15.3{{c}}.
{{Harmonics in equal|36|2|1|intervals=integer|columns=11|collapsed=true}}
{{Harmonics in equal|36|2|1|intervals=integer|columns=12|start=12|collapsed=true|title=Approximation of harmonics in 36edo (continued)}}

; [[TE|36et, 13-limit TE tuning]]
* Step size: 33.304{{c}}, octave size: 1198.929{{c}}
Compressing the octave of 36edo by about 2{{c}} results in much improved primes 5 and 11, but much worse primes 7 and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 11.6{{c}}. The 11- and 13-limit TE tunings of 36et both do this, as do their respective WE tunings.

''To-do (optional)''
* Highest priority: {{EDOs| 13, 118, 159, 270, 103, 104, 107, 111, 117, 125 }}.
* High priority: {{EDOs| 140, 145, 152, 166, 171, 182, 183, 198, 212, 224, 243, 247, 342 }}.

* Medium-low priority: {{EDOs| 73, 76, 80, 81, 83, 84, 88, 89, 91, 95, 96, 101, 106, 110, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 124 }}.
* Low priority: {{EDOs| 20, 21, 40, 43, 44, 46, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 57, 63, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 74, 75, 77, 78, 79, 82, 85, 86, 87, 90, 92, 93, 94, 97, 98, 102, 105, 108, 109, 114, 115, 116, 119, 120 }}.
* Lowest priority: All other EDOs above 125.
''Priority is higher if: there is already a section for stretch, compression, nearby tunings or zeta on the page / the edo lends itself to stretch or compression (e.g. of the primes with 20-40% relative error, most tend in the same direction) / the edo gets a lot of attention (it's small, or especially good by some prominent metric, or the page is especially long, or it gets used a lot by composers).''

; Things to note:
* When rolling this out try not to delete existing body text but instead rework it where possible.
* This section will ''not'' replace any "n-edo and octave stretch" pages. Still, add this section to the relevant edo page, but also link to the "n-edo and octave stretch" page at the top of this section, using the see also template, e.g.: "{{See also|36edo and octave stretch}}".

=== What to do with edonoi pages that are very close to these edos ===
* Edt and edf pages should be permanently kept
* Other edonoi pages should be temporarily kept until all [[XW:NG|notable]] information from their respective pages has been added to:
** The "octave stretch and compression" section of the edo page.
AND/OR
** A new "''N''edo and octave stretch" page (create one of these if there is too much information to squeeze into the "octave stretch and compression" section).

=== Possible tunings to be used on each page ===
You can remove some of these or add more that aren't listed here; this section is pretty much just brainstorming.

(Used https://x31eq.com/temper-pyscript/net.html, used WE instead of TE cause it kept defaulting to WE and I kept not remembering to switch it)

13edo
* Main: "13edo and optimal octave stretching"
* 2.5.11.13 WE (92.483c)
* 2.5.7.13 WE (92.804c)

* 38zpi (92.531c)

118edo (choose ZPIS)

Default
* Nearby edt, ed6, ed12 and/or edf
* Nearby ed5, ed10, ed7 and/or ed11 (optional)
* 1-2 WE tunings
