Reexamine our default temperament list

[pikurasa]

(This issue is to help facilitate a dialogue between us and some musicians who are more knowledgeable in temperament.)

Current Behavior

Currently we have the following list:

• Equal
• Just Intonation
• Pythagorean
• Meantone 1/3
• Meantone 1/4

In Music Blocks, it looks like this:

First, we could make the names more accurate:

• Equal (12EDO)
• 5-limit Just Intonation**
• Pythagorean**
• Meantone 1/3
• Meantone 1/4

**These aren't really a "temperament", so I'm interested in hearing from other musicians about whether or not we should keep including them or not. Certainly, they are a nice "taste test" as long as everything is in relationship to the root.

Then, we might decide to include one or two others, based on feedback.

Off the top of my head "Equal (31EDO)" would be a good one.

So in this issue we have to change the name of the temrament list or Exactly what should be done
as i m unable to figure out @pikurasa

I think we could start with a change of name, although I'm interested to get feedback from some musicians in the microtonal community re: just intonation naming.

If you want to do a patch with just changes to the names, I think that would be an improvement.

The changes would be the following:

• Equal --> Equal (12EDO)
• Just Intonation --> 5-limit Just Intonation
• Pythagorean --> Pythagorean (3-limit JI)

[omsuneri]

Okay fine we will start the changes by changing the names accordingly @pikurasa

[dubeanant]

Okay, @pikurasa, I’m starting to work on this issue, it will be done by tomorrow.

[omsuneri]

I m just about to complete it buddy @dubeanant

[dubeanant]

No problem, buddy. Go ahead, @omsuneri. It's a simple issue just updating the names in the list of temperament. You commented on it last week, so I thought you might want to start working on another issue instead.

[omsuneri]

thanks @dubeanant as this week i have my exams so just done with that and now started working on this issue

[omsuneri]

@pikurasa Should we increase the radius of circle as by this the names fit well in

[walterbender]

We also need to be more consistent with capittalization.

[omsuneri]

@walterbender do you mean the use of capital alphabet in the temperament name

[walterbender]

Yes.

[omsuneri]

Okay I ll make all the temperament names in lower case and would you please refer me the circle menu dimension so as I can resize the radius @walterbender

[walterbender]

Maybe start by using the same capitalization as Devin is using in this ticket?
The wheel dimensions are defined in piemenu.js

[omsuneri]

@walterbender check if now it is fine and should i go ahead for the PR

[walterbender]

It is looking better. But please adhere to Devin's capitalizaton.

[omsuneri]

Yaa that I had changed too

[omsuneri]

@pikurasa @walterbender so what do you think that this issue is over or we need to work more over the perfectioning of the temperament list as @pikurasa mentined in the issue

[pikurasa]

@omsuneri If you're up to it, I think the following additions would be nice:

• Equal (5EDO)
• Equal (7EDO)
• Equal (19EDO)
• Equal (31EDO)

Would you like to work on that?

[omsuneri]

@pikurasa yes why not i ll definitely work on it

[omsuneri]

just please elaborate more so i could start it perfectly

[omsuneri]

@pikurasa Should i use the math.pow function or the approximate value for creating the new temperaments i feel math.pow function to be more accurate
