It forms the difference between [[23/17]] (vicesimotertial wolf fourth) and [[27/20]] (classical wolf fourth). It is also the amount by which a stack of [[23/18]] (the vicesimoterial major third) and [[20/17]] (the diatismic minor third) exceed [[3/2]] (the perfect fifth). Tempering it out defines the '''scanismic temperament''', which enables the [[scanismic chords]]. | ||
