- Thanks to the reviewers. The hook appeared, and is recorded

- Thanks to the reviewers. The hook appeared, and is recorded
"Major thirds tuning" or "Major-thirds tuning"?
The article is titled "major third tuning" but the introduction reads "major-thirds tuning". Which one should it be? Hyacinth (talk) 09:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- Major-thirds tuning > major thirds tuning
- The adjective "major" modifies the noun "thirds". The modifier "major-third" modifies "tuning". WP:MOS and standard English suggest that the hyphen prevents ambiguity, particularly the mis-reading that "major" and "thirds" separately modify the noun "tuning".
- I assume that Sarek chose the non-hyphenated form for simplicity. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to deposit some files from the Wikimedia foundation here. These can be used for major-thirds exposition. My labeling assumes the (low)
tuning, to avoid the D#.
Would that some angel redraw them for consistency! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 00:20, 20 August 2012 (UTC) Thanks Kiefer for your comment on my page, you encouraged me to lift it up a bit! I deposited 2 files as requested: I used TuxGuitar to create them. Cheers --Alexandre Oberlin (talk) 13:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
LaTeX and PDF
It is possible to import images form pdf files. I quote from Wikipedia's tutorial on images: 
Thus, it seems simplest for me to create one PDF file with the images alone on individual pages. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 13:56, 25 August 2012 (UTC) GIMPIt was easy to export snapshots from PDF to PNG format, using the open-source GIMP software. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 17:26, 26 August 2012 (UTC) |
