Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
At that stage, I had already described regular mapping in my Nov 2003 paper https://www.dkeenan.com/Music/MicroGuitar.pdf, but it was specific to the micro-guitar application. In that paper I use the term "prime exponent list" rather than "prime exponent vector" to make it sound...

Re: paper by Sabat and Nicholson
Oh dang! I read that section but I didn't look super carefully at the actual staff at the end. Do you think we should message them about it?
I did reach out to them re: the issue we found in HEJI for SMuFL or Bravura, whatever that was, and I never heard back from them.

paper by Sabat and Nicholson
I hadn't come across this one, Fundamental Principles of Just Intonation and Microtonal Composition by Thomas Nicholson and Marc Sabat, until just today, though it looks like it's been around since Sep. 2018: https://marsbat.space/pdfs/JI.pdf I haven't had a chance to read through the whole thing ye...

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
The last week or so I've been feeling a bit like the floor I was standing on vaporized. So I was looking on the home page of the Xen Wiki , and followed its link to Mike's Lectures On Regular Temperament Theory . At the very bottom of lecture/episode 1 , he touches upon this wedgie vs. mapping dispu...

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
I'm kind of just wishing, for pedagogical reasons, that Gene had never coined the term, in which case Joe wouldn't miss what he never had. Ah, got it. But you've convinced me that using the term "monzo" is bad. I'm not sure I meant to go that far. And there's no way we'd eliminate it now ...

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
Admittedly, monzo is pretty catchy name. I may never fully wean myself off it. And Joe's the man; he sang on a piece of mine the first time I ever had one recorded. But you've convinced me that using the term "monzo" is bad.

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
You can use whatever brackets you want, so long as you spell out what they mean in your particular context. What I'm hearing is: vectors and matrices are sufficiently fundamental mathematical tools that it would be silly to attempt — even within the microtonal music domain — to standardize certain ...

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
It can already do this for an EDO, so yes, I agree it should be relatively simple to make it work for temperaments, too. Of course EDOs are temperaments ("rank 1" or "equal" temperaments). You mean it should be relatively simple to make it work for "rank 2" or "li...

Re: general methods for linear temperament notation
Also, I suspect @Dave Keenan may eventually ask me to write a program which allows a regular (or is linear the preferred term?) temperament notation to be generated from some inputs, as a feature of a web-based Sagittal notation calculator... Actually. It should be a simple extension to your existi...

Re: miracle temperament
Hey... shouldn't Sagittal offer a miracle temperament notation, since George himself invented it? It does. It's the 72edo notation. In the last paragraph on page 18 of the XH article you will find: While the notation of linear or higher-dimensional temperaments has not been investigated by us in gr...
