Hyperpent and hypopent: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

"Hyper-" is the Greek prefix for high or above and "pent" is Greek for five. Hyperpent is loosely associated with [[superpyth]], but specifically refers to equal division of the octave that result in any fifth tempered sharp, while "hypo-" is the Greek prefix for low or below and "pent" is Greek for five. Hypopent is loosely associated with [[meantone]], but specifically refers to equal division of the octave that result in any fifth tempered flat.

Large ~~edo's~~ are generally amphipent, meaning both hyperpent and hypopent, because they contain multiple representations of the fifth that may be sharp and flat. Some edo's may contain no intervals in the span of a just fifth plus or minus a [[syntonic comma]], and thus are neither hyperpent nor hypopent, and are refered to as "anpent."

Large edos are generally amphipent, meaning both hyperpent and hypopent, because they contain multiple representations of the fifth that may be sharp and flat. Some edo's may contain no intervals in the span of a just fifth plus or minus a [[syntonic comma]], and thus are neither hyperpent nor hypopent, and are refered to as "anpent."
