... Good question. I haven't been pronouncing the colon at all. 385/384 is the first time I've felt any desire to indicate multiplication (as 5.7.11-kleisma)....
... I agree with this for the _really_ complex commas, but I want a reasonably non-mathematician friendly system where for example the systematic names for...
... Since factoring is as hard as extracting the 3 exponent given the size range, the only difference is whether you prefer to know a range by memorizing a few...
... I agree with Monz. There's definitely no need to include the 2-exponents here. They're musically irrelevant in most cases, and if you do need them, the...
... Again a cool idea, and I find these sort of inquiries fascinating, but I try to avoid them when I can't see them being very useful. YMMV. ... I've so far...
... I'm a little confused here. On the one hand you'd apparently be quite happy to call something the "fartisma", because all you need is a "hook" to hang the...
... i can pretty much agree with that, with one very important comma residing in that other 10%: the enharmonic diesis, ratio 128/125, [3,5]-monzo version: the...
... Seems useful to me. I think we're now past the point where all the common comma's and temperaments have been named. My purpose in proposing systematic...
... i'm sorry to respectfully disagree with you, Dave, but i don't see anything unfriendly about "[4 -1]-comma". (note that i don't consider the comma...
... sounds ... in ... 'major' ... seconds. Perhaps the Arabic musicians should speak for themselves? I confess that I have not speken with any Arabic musicians...
... who has ... temperament, ... could ... resolved to ... which are ... No, it's not for lack of exposure that I say what I say. On the contrary, I believe...
... actually that's not true. i don't visualize the numbers as 3^4 / 5^1 , but rather as 3^4 * 5^-1 , since that's exactly how the lattice works. and that...
... I think we need a way of distinguishing 2-free monzos from complete information monzos. I suggest <4, -1> vs [-4, 4, -1] to distinguish the two ways of...
... I think I've done that. ... Actually I was referring to the both of us being anal there. You mention genetic predisposition, and interestingly there's this...
For any odd prime p, there is a finite list of superparticular ratios which belong to the p-limit. For some n, the smallest n intervals on this list will...
... Have you actually read any of the several descriptions I've given of the proposed komma naming algorithm and its inverse? Are they all really that unclear?...
... As shown where? If you mean "81/80" and "64/63", I thought we agreed that these don't qualify as names. And if we didn't, then I have to say I find, for...
... Here's something I can believe but which isn't immediately obvious. Can you prove it? ... Cool. Howabout moving a fixed n down the list (or n's which, for...
... Do you mean you don't like spelling it with a "k" when it's being used as a generic term. That's fine. That's not part of the naming algorithm. That's just...
I guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I think I'm getting the message now, from both Gene and Carl. If I may be allowed a little exaggeration: Dave, we...
hi Dave (and Gene and paul), ... i must say that i found Gene's comment about the "secret decoder ring" very funny and amusing. i realize it was at your...
... using the convention Gene just proposed which i accept (OK, i'll keep the comma punctuation) : <3, 5>-monzo: <4, -1>-comma. ... <3, 5>-monzo: <8,...
