~~Name's~~ Flora Canou.

Flora Canou / Fumica (Discord ID: fumica).

English ~~& Chinese~~ Mandarin;

I speak English and native Mandarin.

~~Mostly microtonal theory currently~~.

<small>I don't speak conversational Japanese, except for some basic words and how to read kanas and kanjis, so I can read Japanese pages to some degree, but not much beyond that. Please stick to English (or Mandarin if you will) should you wish to have a convo with me. </small>

~~== Well~~ temperament ==

Long term projects:

~~I developed well temperaments on [[12edo|12-et]]~~ and ~~[[17edo|17-et]] which can be seen here. I also tried one on 19-et but gave up~~ for ~~multiple reasons.~~

* Review, maintain and improve temperament pages

* Review, maintain and improve the scale trees for mos pages

Q: ~~Why I gave up developing~~ a 19-wt

Misc. hemi-idiosyncratic stuff:

* Contributed to the [https://github.com/euwbah/musescore-microtonal-edo-plugin Microtonal plugin for MuseScore] and made a [https://github.com/FloraCanou/musescore-n-tet-plugins fork] with key signatures re-ordered into fifths for her own use.

* Explored and documented the [[sensamagic dominant chord]] and the [[hemimage bleeding chord]], based on [[Flora's analysis on septimal voice leading|her understanding of septimal voice leading]].

* Explored the [[canou family]] of temperaments, and a few others in [[User:FloraC/Temperament name proposal]].

A: First, unlike 12- and ~~17-et~~ with ambiguous major and minor thirds, ~~19-et~~'s thirds are close enough to 5-limit JI that interpreting them otherwise is like a force. In 12- and ~~17-et~~, those intervals can represent different ratios in different keys, ~~while~~ in ~~19-et~~ they represent the same ratios better or worse in different keys~~, and I~~'~~m not fond of that~~. Second, the harmonics of 3, 5, 7, and 13 in ~~19-et~~ are all flat, so there's not much room to operate. Third, the ambiguity of 4\19 and 15\19 is ~~nice~~ and ~~I want them~~ ''~~ambiguous~~ in every key''.

== Well temperaments ==

I developed well temperaments on [[12edo|12et]] and [[17edo|17et]] which can be seen here.

* [[User:FloraC/Flora's 17-note well temperament|Flora's 17-note well temperament]]

I've also been trying to develop one on 19et but no satisfactory result as of now.

Q: What are the difficulties in developing a 19wt?

A: First, unlike 12- and 17et with ambiguous major and minor thirds, 19et's thirds are close enough to 5-limit JI that interpreting them otherwise is like a force. In 12- and 17et, those intervals can represent different ratios in different keys, whereas in 19et, they represent the same ratios better or worse in different keys. The effect isn't satisfactory. Second, the harmonics of 3, 5, 7, and 13 in 19et are all flat, so there's not much room to operate. Third, the ambiguity of 4\19 and 15\19 is an important characteritics, and those should be ambiguous ''in every key''.

Q: What are the solutions?

A: For 19et to have any room to operate, octave stretch must be employed. For 4\19 and 15\19 not deviating too much, hemitwelfth is used as a generator.

Q: It's possible to make octave stretched well temperaments?

A: Yes it's possible. Just one more argument than pure-octave. Issue is I haven't got a satisfactory result.
