Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, thanks for starting the Tritone article and nice work all around. Cheers! --maveric149


Thanks, I stumbled on this place yesterday, and I think the idea is brilliant. I'm certainly planning on sticking around.


Hi JFQ, and welcome. Thanks for sorting out Scale (music) - I looked at it a couple of days ago, but was too daunted to do anything about it. It's far better now. Glad to hear you plan to stay. Keep up the good work and all that. --Camembert

Seconded! Every now and then I peer at the music articles, think about clarifying some of the basics, and back off rapidly. The reference works I have on music are very good on circular definitions: basic notions such as chord, note, pitch, etc tend to say the equivalent of "it just is". -- Tarquin

Well, I'm certainly having a lot of fun. I hope you'll both take a look at the stuff I added on seventh chords, and comb them for the inevitable errors.


Hey JFQ. Any relation to Schuyler? Dachshund


Hi again, JFQ, good to have you back again, I thought you'd left us forever. If you're looking for something to do music-wise, nobody has yet been willing to face up to the various music history pages (History of Western music and links therefrom). Otherwise, if you just browse around the place, I'm sure you'll find plenty of sub-par music articles still. And while I'm here, a bit of a request: I wonder if you could have a look at what I wrote at Pythagorean tuning and see if it makes sense to you - am I explaining the basics too much, not enough, does the table make sense, and so on. As I said on the talk page there, I kind of understand this stuff intuitively now, so it's hard to know what I should tell newcomers to the subject (not that I'm saying you're a newcomer, but it'll help to have another pair of eyes look at it). --Camembert
