Neutral (interval quality): Difference between revisions
Created page with "''"Tendoneutral" redirects here. For the ultramajor quality (called "tendo"), see Ultramajor and inframinor.'' '''Neutral''' intervals are between major and minor intervals. For example, neutral thirds fall between roughly 341 and 361 cents. Neutral intervals are the "center" of an interval category, and are the point around which the qualities of that category are symmetric. Common neutral intervals may be found as the square roots of common major or minor interva..." |

* '''Artoneutral''' intervals are flat of the "central" interval. Artoneutral thirds range from about 341 to 351 cents. 11/9 is the best-known example of an interval in this range. They also function as the "pure" neutrals when the interval that doubles them is tuned flatly, such as the neutral third in meantone or 7edo. For a given pure neutral interval k in cents, the corresponding artoneutral interval is found at around k-5 cents. | * '''Artoneutral''' intervals are flat of the "central" interval.

* '''Tendoneutral''' intervals are sharp of the "central" interval. Tendoneutral thirds range from about 351 to 361 cents, and 16/13 is the best known example of an interval in this range. They also function as "pure" neutrals when the interval that doubles them is tuned sharply, such as the neutral second in meantone. For a given pure neutral interval k in cents, the corresponding tendoneutral interval is found at around k+5 cents. | * '''Tendoneutral''' intervals are sharp of the "central" interval.
