63edo: Difference between revisions

Sort the information so that the general tuning profile is presented before the commas and temps
Rank-2 temperaments: 81/80 can't be the associated ratio for 1\63 in Sevond, because 63edo maps 81/80 inconsistently to 2\63; I think 64/63 fits the bill, but better check on that

63edo is almost consistent to the [[15-odd-limit]]; the only inconsistency is that [[10/9]] is mapped to 9\63 (1\7, the same as what [[11/10]] is mapped to consistently) so that it is almost 11{{cent}} out of tune. This corresponds to 63edo exaggerating the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], to two steps, so that it finds a somewhat flat mean-tone between ~10/9 and ~9/8.  
63edo is almost [[consistent]] to the [[15-odd-limit]]; the only inconsistency is that [[10/9]] is mapped to 9\63 (1\7, the same as what [[11/10]] is mapped to consistently) so that it is almost 11{{cent}} out of tune. This corresponds to 63edo exaggerating the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], to two steps, so that it finds a somewhat flat mean-tone between ~10/9 and ~9/8.  


As an equal temperament, it [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[3125/3072]] in the 5-limit and [[225/224]], [[245/243]], and [[875/864]] in the 7-limit, so that it [[support]]s [[magic]] temperament. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[100/99]], supporting 11-limit magic, plus [[385/384]] and [[540/539]], [[896/891]]. In the 13-limit it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[640/637]], [[352/351]], [[364/363]] and [[676/675]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[immune]], the {{nowrap| 29 & 34d }} temperament in the 7-, 11- and 13-limit.

63edo can be notated using [[ups and downs notation|ups and downs]]. Trup is equivalent to quudsharp, trudsharp is equivalent to quup, etc.

Alternatively, sharps and flats with arrows borrowed from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used:
