Patent val error vs direct approximation error

I think it's a good idea to have patent val error in these tables. Direct approximation error is also pretty good to have, so I added both. (There is also the "best val", btw) Mike Battaglia (talk) 17:40, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

I think the patent val error should be primary. In an inconsistent chord, you can't have all three intervals the closest interval, while the patent val provides an unambiguous solution. Patent val is important for stuff like commas or 35edo's interpretation of 3. Search "Selected just intervals by error" in this wiki for more edo articles with such a table (all of which I edited to patent val error) and see https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/247892491/ for the project I used to generate the table, which always gives the patent val error.

By the way, 29edo and 41edo are consistent in 15-odd-limit, so the two table types are the same. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:13, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
