Golden meantone: Difference between revisions

Added the "odd-limit" clarification as bracketed text in the quote instead of a separate line
added a formulation of the golden fifth's size that is more intuitively connected to the diatonic scale

EDO systems in a Fibonacci style recurrence beginning with 7 and 12 are successively better approximations to this ideal.
This can be approached by successively taking soft child MOSes of pentic (2L 3s, 5L 2s, 7L 5s, 12L 7s, 19L 12s, etc). Each time, the generator range "narrows in" on the golden diatonic generator.
 
Equivalently, EDO systems in a Fibonacci style recurrence beginning with 7 and 12 are successively better approximations to this ideal.
 
The process behind constructing golden meantone can be [[Golden sequences and tuning|generalized]] to other MOSes.
