2.3.7 subgroup: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

When [[octave equivalence]] is assumed, an interval can be taken as representing that interval in every possible voicing. This leaves primes 3 and 7, which can be represented in a 2-dimensional [[lattice diagram]], each prime represented by a different dimension, such that each point on the lattice represents a different [[interval class]].

== Chords and harmony ==

There are a number of ways to approach harmony in this subgroup, most of which are discussed in [[Superpyth #Chords and harmony]]. The basic forms of chords include the {{w|tertian harmony|tertian}} triad [[6:7:9]], the tetrad [[6:7:8:9]], and their utonal inverses. The fourth-spanning triads [[6:7:8]] and [[21:24:28]] can also be used, as well as their wide voicing 4:7:12 and 7:12:21. Extensions of these chords include but are not limited to the [[9-odd-limit]] [[anomalous saturated suspension|saturated suspensions]], [[12:14:18:21]] and [[14:18:21:24]].

Like in [[5-limit]] [[JI]], one quickly runs into [[wolf interval]]s without care, but the 2.3.7 wolf being [[21/16]] or [[32/21]] may be considered less discordant, and useful in its own ways. For example, 1–9/8–21/16–3/2 and 1–8/7–4/3–3/2 may be considered [[21-odd-limit]] concords. They are conflated in superpyth as the sus2-4 chord, but subtlely contrast each other in JI.

Semaphore tempers out the comma [[49/48]] {{S|7}} in the 2.3.7 subgroup, which equates [[8/7]] with [[7/6]], creating a single neutral semifourth which serves as the generator. Similarly to [[dicot]], semaphore can be regarded as an exotemperament that elides fundamental distinctions within the subgroup. From the perspective of a pentatonic framework, this is equivalent to erasing the major-minor distinction as dicot does, though the comma involved is half the size of dicot's [[25/24]].
