Chromatic pairs: Difference between revisions

A '''chromatic pair''' is a pair of [[mos scale]]s in some [[rank-2 temperament]] (either a full [[Harmonic limit|''p''-limit]] temperament or a [[subgroup temperament]]) that are analogous to the familiar [[5L 2s|diatonic]] and [[chromatic]] scales of standard tuning. The smaller scale is an '''albitonic scale''' (from Latin ''albus'', "white"), named such since the diatonic scale can be played using the white keys of a piano, and the larger of the two is a '''chromatic scale''', analogous to the chromatic scale of standard tuning. Other related scales can be associated to chromatic pairs, namely a '''haplotonic scale''' (from Greek ''haplóos'', "single, simple"), analogous to the pentatonic scale of standard tuning and played using the black keys of a piano.

In the sections below, the pair temperaments are listed in order of increasing [[Tp tuning#T2 tuning|RMS error]], which is an appropriate error measure for subgroups as well as full ''p''-limit groups.
