Name's Flora Canou (Fumica#5144). Age 23. I speak English & Chinese Mandarin. I currently work on mostly microtonal theories especially RTT.  
Flora Canou / Fumica (Discord ID: fumica).  


I contributed to the [https://github.com/euwbah/musescore-n-tet-plugins n-EDO Retuner plugin for MuseScore] and made a [https://github.com/FloraCanou/musescore-n-tet-plugins fork] with key signatures re-ordered into fifths for my own use.  
I speak English and native Mandarin.  


I explored and documented the [[sensamagic dominant chord]] and the [[hemimage bleeding chord]], based on [[Flora's analysis on septimal voice leading|my understanding of septimal voice leading]].
<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>
 
I explored the [[canou family]] of temperaments, and a few others in [[User:FloraC/Temperament proposal]].

I call equal temperaments in Tenney-Euclidean tuning "ette".
* [[Flora Canou]]
 
3-limit TE tuning, which is my preferred tuning for most ets, is "ette3".
 
Some super easy formulae for such a tuning follows.
 
=== 3-limit TE tuning of ets ===
{{Databox|Detail|
 
Given a val A, we have Tenney-weighted val V &#61; AW, where W is the Tenney-weighting matrix.
 
If T is the Tenney-weighted tuning map, then for any et, for obvious reasons,
 
[math]t_2/v_2 &#61; t_1/v_1[/math]
 
Let ''c'' be the coefficient of TE-weighted tuning map ''c'' &#61; ''t''<sub>2</sub>/''t''<sub>1</sub> &#61; ''v''<sub>2</sub>/''v''<sub>1</sub>
 
Let ''e'' be the [[TE error]] in Breed's RMS, and J be the [[JIP]], then
 
[math]e &#61; {{!}}{{!}}T - J{{!}}{{!}}_\text {RMS} &#61; \sqrt {\frac {(t_1 - 1)^2 + (t_2 - 1)^2)}{2} }[/math]
 
Since
 
[math]
(t_1 - 1)^2 + (t_2 - 1)^2 \\
&#61; t_1^2 - 2t_1 + 1 + c^2 t_1^2 - 2c t_1 + 1 \\
&#61; (c^2 + 1)t_1^2 - 2(c + 1)t_1 + 2
[/math]
 
has minimum at
 
[math]t_1 &#61; \frac{c + 1}{c^2 + 1} &#61; \frac {v_1 (v_1 + v_2)}{v_1^2 + v_2^2}[/math]
 
and ''f'' (''x'') &#61; sqrt (''x''/2) is a monotonously increasing function
 
''e'' has the same minimum point.
 
Now substitute ''t''<sub>2</sub>/''c'' for ''t''<sub>1</sub>,
 
[math]
t_i &#61; \frac {v_i (v_1 + v_2)}{v_1^2 + v_2^2}, i &#61; 1, 2 \\
e &#61; \frac { {{!}}v_1 - v_2{{!}} }{\sqrt {2(v_1^2 + v_2^2)} }
[/math]
 
}}
 
=== 3-limit TOP tuning of ets ===
{{Databox|Detail|
 
This part is deduced from Paul Erlich's ''Middle Path''.
 
[math]
t_i &#61; \frac {2v_i}{v_1 + v_2}, i &#61; 1, 2 \\
e &#61; \frac { {{!}}v_1 - v_2{{!}} }{v_1 + v_2}
[/math]
 
This ''e'' is also the amount to stretch or compress each prime.
 
}}
 
=== General TE tuning of ets ===
{{Databox|Detail|
 
This time we have a sequence c &#61; {''c''<sub>''n''</sub>}, where
 
[math]c_i &#61; v_i/v_1, i &#61; 1, 2, \ldots, n[/math]
 
And just proceed as before,
 
[math]t_1 &#61; \frac {\sum \vec c}{\vec c^\mathsf T \vec c} &#61; \frac {v_1 \sum V}{VV^\mathsf T}[/math]
 
Substitute ''t''<sub>''i''</sub>/''c''<sub>''i''</sub> for ''t''<sub>1</sub>,
 
[math]
t_i &#61; \frac {v_i \sum V}{VV^\mathsf T}, i &#61; 1, 2, \ldots, n \\
e &#61; \sqrt {1 - \frac {(\sum V)^2}{n VV^\mathsf T} }
[/math]
 
}}
 
=== Notes ===
* For the nullity-1 temperament tempering out {{monzo| ''m''<sub>1</sub> ''m''<sub>2</sub> … ''m''<sub>''n''</sub> }}, each prime ''q<sub>i</sub>'' is tuned to
: <math>-\operatorname {sgn} (m_i) \log_2 (q_i) \frac {\sum_j m_j \log_2 (q_j)}{\sum_j \vert m_j \vert \log_2 (q_j)}</math>
* Even for ets, TOP and TE tuning are not identical, but close.
* The relative interval error space of equal temperaments in TOP tuning seems to be linear.
