Re: 198edo

Yeah I checked the diagram , but some commas are too complex to approach, such as the :(|(: = 45927/45056. I didn't have any idea how I could find that ratio. Now I see it's the apotome-complement of 22/21. Plus, I thought :)/|\: was :/|\: with a schisma accent. :(|(: is 5/11S (44:45). You meant :(...

Re: 198edo

Welcome!! (...wait, did someone approve this post before I could see it? or was getting rid of the approval process part of what all this maintenance stuff was about?) 7/5k :|(: This would be either "5:7k" (undirected, with the 5 first because it's smaller; one-sided commas don't have the ...

Re: Naming commas and other intervals: a compilation of various sources

I just asked my wife and my son and his partner if 91 was prime or composite. They are all engineers or software developers (i.e. good at maths). My wife and my son's partner almost immediately said "Prime". One of them even foolishly said, "no doubt". My son was silent for abou...

Exactly or just in-range?

1:φ (833¢) gives us a :||\:N:/|:m6 if the former, assuming that double-sharps and other far-out symbols aren't allowed.

Re: A proposal to simplify the notation of EDOs with bad fifths

That shows up nicely, the cases where we will have to deal with overlaps. In the final product, I think we should always have the "b" EDO as the one that is partly obscured. Yeah, it's just that the order I ended up having it draw the boxes was 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , ..., 59 , 60 , 61 , ..., 71 ...

Re: A proposal to simplify the notation of EDOs with bad fifths

Up to 72-EDO it includes only 6b , 11b , 18b (9) , 23b , 30b , 35b (5) , 42b (7) , 47b , 59b , 64b (32) , 71b . This is equivalent to setting the EDO × cents-error boundary at 686¢, the tempered perfect fifth of 7edo. (This will never result in a case that's exactly on the line, for the same reason...

Re: developing a notational comma popularity metric

and that there's nothing special about the middle exponent of 3 that generates Mills' constant, so there are many similar constants. Yeah. The reason why the version with 3 is the most well-known is because the 2-version might not actually lead to the sequence starting 2,5,29,853,727613 with each e...

Re: Magrathean diacritics

Actually, I can see some serious floating-point overflow and underflow issues with the form: N2D3P9 × 2^(2^(ATE-DATE)) × 2^(2^(AAS-DAAS)) float overflows at 2^128 = 2^2^7 or ATE=16*, and double overflows at 2^1024 = 2^2^10 or ATE=19*. You'll be fine—I'm sure no comma that has 3 11 as a factor in ei...

Re: developing a notational comma popularity metric

JavaScript has a primitive value called NaN, which stands for "Not-a-Number". I was using the type check "typeof candidate === 'number'" to confirm that results of the antivotes calculation were all numbers, as opposed to nulls, undefineds, or NaNs. Hilariously, in JavaScript, &...

Re: developing a notational comma popularity metric

Yes, welcome back @volleo6144 ! Although I feel you've been here the whole time, offering your silent support :) Mostly. I guess I was just, like, pretty sure I didn't have much to say that you hadn't already figured out, or something. As your example shows, c x with c<1 decreases with increasing x...
