... certainly ... I don't see why; I think you need more verbiage to sort it out. You can't just say "best" like Mark Rankin does; you need to say for each ...
... Ah, I see the problem. I imagined that anyone reading would assume "n-limit error" meant "error in approximating an n-limit interval", not "error in...
Hi.
I have a question on intervals [i] with a specific property: a chain of
[i] should yield combination tones (in the form f2-f1, or even 2*f1-f2
and/or...

I took all 13-limit odd integers up to 99, and then all four-note chords derivable from them. I then checked for the ones which were outonal, or asses, and for...
... A chord is "outonal" if it is an inversely symmetrical chord in rational intonation. Inversely symmetrical means an octave-equivalent chord which, on...
Hi all, I happened to noticed something peculiar about the partch diamond: If you sort the pitches in ascending order, each interval between two neighbouring...

An integral domain is a commutative ring without zero divisors, but you don't need to know what that means; just language I might use. The classic example is...
