'''Ptolemismic chords''' are [[essentially tempered chord]]s tempered by the ptolemisma, [[100/99]]. | |||
[[Category: | |||
[[Category: | There are one triad, six tetrads and four pentads as 2.3.5.11 subgroup [[11-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chords. | ||
[[Category: | |||
The ptolemismic triad consists of [[11/8]] and a stack of two [[6/5]]'s closing at the octave: | |||
* 1–11/8–5/3 with steps of 11/8, 6/5, 6/5. | |||
For tetrads, there are two palindromic chords and two pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are | |||
* 1–9/8–5/4–9/5 with steps 9/8, 11/10, 16/11, 11/10; | |||
* 1–3/2–5/3–9/5 with steps 3/2, 11/10, 12/11, 11/10. | |||
The inversely related pairs of chords are | |||
* 1–11/8–3/2–5/3 with steps 11/8, 12/11, 11/10, 6/5, and its inverse | |||
* 1–12/11–3/2–9/5 with steps 12/11, 11/8, 6/5, 11/10; | |||
* 1–5/4–3/2–9/5 with steps 5/4, 6/5, 6/5, 11/10, and its inverse | |||
* 1–6/5–3/2–5/3 with steps 6/5, 5/4, 11/10, 6/5. | |||
For pentads, there are two palindromic chords and a pair of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are | |||
* 1–9/8–5/4–3/2–9/5 with steps 9/8, 11/10, 6/5, 6/5, 11/10; | |||
* 1–11/8–3/2–5/3–11/6 with steps 11/8, 12/11, 11/10, 11/10, 12/11. | |||
The inversely related pair of chords is | |||
* 1–5/4–3/2–5/3–9/5 with steps 5/4, 6/5, 11/10, 12/11, 11/10, and its inverse | |||
* 1–6/5–3/2–5/3–9/5 with steps 6/5, 5/4, 11/10, 12/11, 11/10. | |||
