Hi folks, I guess I mentioned a while ago I'd start an Interval Databse, so let me mention my experiences, let's go... I made an algorythm that made the...
hi alex, most of your questions have been addressed at length in the old discussions on the tuning list. perhaps you could take some time to look over the...
Hy Wally, well, as I said, I was first concerned on creating a tool ( a table) where you could convert cents to a integer ratio, as you can't calculate that I...
... as others have mentioned to you on other lists, it totally depends on the context. it's quite rare for anyone to notice a melodic interval difference of 5...
Great, great, now I'm getting it, t's just that I'm not familiar with all this music, not to say the theory, and I'm also kinda far ( I do live in Brazil ),...
... Oh really, how can I do that? I remember I saw someone asking about this somewhere, and there was a reply that you couldn't actually do it, that's how I...
... Let <a[0], a[1], a[2], ...> be such that the a[i] are integers, and a[i]>0 for i>0. For any finite subsequence, we define a corresponding fraction as...
thanks, I've seen many things now for the topic of cents to ratio convertion, I'll note them all down and show them to someone near me that can 'translate' it,...
... Ah, I'd tried that without the comma between the two lists. Great. So they all give the comma for meantone. And I'm beginning to understand vals. ... I'm...
Hi guys, George Secor and I could use some help with the sagittal notation project. We're approaching the notation of ratios from a new direction. We expect it...
... course ... Those are pretty common; you just need a planar temperament where the fifth works as a generator, and then use a tuning where it is pure.\ It...
Is this at all what you are looking for? 4375/4374 7-limit planar temperament generator 1: 2 generator 2: 3 generator 3: 4.999748162, or 2786.226514 cents ...
... apotome ... OK. Forget the planar temperament stuff. The things I'm interested in are mathematically like a _linear_ temperament, but instead of repeating...
Thnaks Kennan!!! ... Gee, I only know about high school math, actually not even that cause it's been so long... it's funny that in my musical training now I'm ...
Hi Manuel I had seen that, actually I used it and put it into an eletronic database, I'll read carefully Dave's page, I see you use that terminology to name...
... Oh dear. I almost despair of communicating my intentions here if _you_ are not getting it Paul. But this certainly is not the kind of "linear temperament"...
Gene, So what's the deal with the synchronous versions of temperaments? Can you give a rundown of of some of them -- metameantone, wreckmeister (?), wendell...
... No opinion about what should be done, but I felt more for making a list of historical names, and Dave for making a consistent terminology. ... Well there's...
If you're interested in Regener, my Master's thesis presents his work, among other things: http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~bdenckla/thesis/texts/htthe I've...
Responding to a question from Carl, I present Baked Alaska, an alaska-style temperament with brats of exactly 3/2 and 2. This isn't as nifty as it sounds,...
Hi Manuel ... point in ... Sure, not all of them, just the ones that were historically important, but then I guess you already used them all in Scala, right? ...
