ok, i just recently updated the links in my
"consistency" definition
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/consiste.htm

and now i'm getting a "page cannot be found" error
when i try to view them

where are they hiding now?

They're not hiding, you mistook the .html extensions
for .txt.

thanks, Manuel, it's fixed now.

paul, you had asked me to change something about my graphics
here and in the "unique" definition ... what was it?

well, before i remind you of that, which data exactly are you
plotting here? i would have expected only odd number limits, since
you're restricing yourself to equal temperaments with an integer
number of notes per octave . . .

hmmm ... i simply copied the data from Manuel's webpages
and pasted it into a spreadsheet, from which i made the graphs.

so i guess those integer-EDOs are merely signposts along
the x-axis. the plots correspond exactly with the data in
the spreadsheet, so the EDOs plotted are not integer divisions.

i admit that these graphs could be improved a lot -- this
was just a very quick-and-dirty deal. i've never really
understood these consistency tables well until now.

i don't think you're doing a good job of presenting this data
visually, and it couldn't be much improved in this format. i think it
would be far better to simply plot the odd-limit data for the integer
et case, if you wanted one graph to illustrate 'consistency'. if you
don't know how to read this information from manuel's table, you can
find it on paul hahn's website, for example
http://library.wustl.edu/~manynote/consist3.txt, which gives the
maximum errors within each odd limit (the columns are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11,
etc.) and ceases once inconsistency is reached.

yes, paul, i think you're probably right that that approach
would work (and look) better. i'll check it out ... thanks.
