Re: Sensi temperament

I think we should only recommend your chain-of-fifths notation and your 8-MOS nominals notation with :/|):, :/|)::/|):, :/|)::/|)::/|): . It's unlikely anyone would use more than 46 notes of sensi. You would only need :/|)::/|)::/|)::/|): if you have more than 56 notes.

Re: Sensi temperament

A agree that those symbols are valid as those numbers of generators, except that the symbols you suggest for -24g and -32g are not themselves dropped-accent versions of valid symbols. But I think you were right to reject these additional notations, for the reasons you give. Also, I think improper MO...

Re: Sensi temperament

These are excellent notations for sensi . I too, failed to find a single symbol for -16 generators, so it will just have to be :/|)::/|): . רועיסיני , I'm sorry it took me so long to check your notations and reply to this post, but I upgraded the forum software recently, and four days ago I noticed ...

Re: New left, right and center-aligned table bbCodes. New escape bbCode.

I finally got it to work the same as it used to before the upgrade, by using the following patterns, replacements and help-lines: [table borderwidth={NUMBER;defaultValue=0}]{TEXT}[/table] <script>window.tableBbcodeBorderWidth = "{@borderwidth}px";</script> <div style="overflow-x: auto...

Re: New left, right and center-aligned table bbCodes. New escape bbCode.

Upgrading the forum software from phpBB 3.3.2 to 3.3.10 broke the above table-related BbCodes. As you can see above, we were making the data-cells take on borders of the same width as the table border by using <style> elements in the body of the page, which was always going against the HTML spec and...

Re: New [table], [tr], [th], [td] bbCodes

Upgrading the forum software from phpBB 3.3.2 to 3.3.10 broke our table BbCodes, so we're no longer using the method Douglas describes above, but we eventually found another way to get the same result.

Re: Weird and missing notations in the pdf

By the way, what do you think of this "evo" versus "revo" terminology? Is it too hard to remember which is which? Should we go back to calling them "mixed" and "pure"? One reason Douglas and I went to "evo" and "revo" was to avoid the impli...

Re: Weird and missing notations in the pdf

What if we just said that double shaft symbols (and by extension X-shaft symbols) don't have fixed rational definitions, i.e. there are no fixed apotome-complementary pairs of symbols, and you can always just make them recapitulate the single-shaft flag combinations, like this: :)|: :~|: :/|: :(|(:...

Re: Orwell temperament

Having now checked them, I can say that those are indeed the best possible chain-of-fifths and MOS-nominals notations for Orwell. Well done. To summarise: Chain of fifths gens symbol --------------- +7 C:G etc +14 C:D etc -35 B:C E:F +49 :#: or :/||\: +31 :/|: ≡ 3 mod 7 -22 :|): ≡ -1 mod 7 +9 :/|\: ...
