Pythagoras of Samos: Difference between revisions
"Limma" and "diatonic semitone" are the same thing. The various interval names are just part of the same series so I don't see the reason to repeat that. I certainly don't see "Pythagorean" being replaced with "3-limit". "Pythagorean family" is fully dead so I think it's safe to simply remove it. |

In tuning theory, "Pythagorean" has come to be almost synonymous with a [[3-limit]], pure [[just intonation]] approach to tuning. However, because "Pythagorean" and "Pythagoras'" have been applied to so many different concepts over the centuries, a lot of these terms are a little bit ill-defined, with potential for confusion around what exactly someone means when they say "Pythagorean tuning" or something of the sort. | In tuning theory, "Pythagorean" has come to be almost synonymous with a [[3-limit]], pure [[just intonation]] approach to tuning.
