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

Well George, we've slept on it for 9 months now, and there has recently been a request on one of the facebook groups, for someone to add the corresponding Sagittal notation(s) to every EDO entry in the Xenharmonic Wiki. So we really ought to decide whether these will become the new standard notatio...

Sagittal integration with Tall Kite color notation

Originally posted 7 June 2018 UPDATED 11 June 2018 This message involves a proposed integration of a selection of the most common Sagittal symbols with the Tall Kite color notation system that is currently under development. This message has been cross-posted with one on the Tall Kite forum so that ...

Re: 581EDO

That's quite a tour de force, George. I don't doubt that it is valid, however I find it unsatisfying. Of course it's easy to criticise, and much harder to come up with an alternative. It's unsatisfying that there is no regularity that might reduce the amount of information that needs to be remember...

Re: 581EDO

It seems wrong to me, for 581-EDO notation to use schismina accents. 612 and 624-EDO notations don’t need them. However it seems unavoidable that 581 will need to use _some_ kind of accents. I believe 494-EDO is the largest that we can notate without accents. As with 612 and 624, I think we should ...

Re: 581EDO

I posted the following, regarding notation of 581-EDO, on 9 April 2017 to a thread in the Facebook group Xenharmonic Alliance Mathematical Theory, and am reposting it here at Dave Keenan's request. Although most of this already appears in my previous postings here, my suggestion of the 85:121 schism...

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

George, I note that you have implicitly accepted, without discussion, my proposed cutoffs at fifth sizes narrower than 19-edo and wider than 22-edo. Some might consider that 26-edo should be notated as a meantone. And you have implicitly accepted my suggestion that all such edos with narrow fifths ...

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

That's great stuff George. Thanks. To help folks evaluate it (OK, to help me ), I have a couple of requests. 1. Could you please give a table showing all the symbols you have used, in size order, and which apotome and limma fractions they correspond to. Similar to the one of mine that you quoted. 2...

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

Presently, all Sagittal EDO notations are JI-based, in the sense that a symbol always represents the tempered size of its comma role in just intonation. But this results in an explosion of obscure symbols being used for the EDOs in the red and amber areas, many of which are very simple and so don't...
