Wikipedia:WikiProject Tunings, Temperaments, and Scales

This project will cover historical systems like Pythagorean tuning and meantone temperament, non-Western systems like pelog and slendro, and modern innovations like Harry Partch's 43-tone scale. The focus will be on microtonal and xenharmonic music; tunings such as New Standard Tuning for guitars that fall completely within 12-tone equal temperament don't belong to this project.

• I think the pages for Myhill's property and Maximal Evenness should be merged (and to that should be added distributional evenness), but I don't know how to propose a merger. Can anybody help? -CKL

Just put {{mergeto|Title of an article}} and {{mergefrom|Title of the article that should be merged into the first one}} on the respective articles. It's also a good idea to explain why they should be merged on the talk page. —Keenan Pepper 23:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
