Interest in this tuning system goes back to the sixteenth century, when composer Guillaume Costeley used it in his chanson [[Seigneur Dieu ta pitié]] of 1558. Costeley understood and desired the circulating aspect of this tuning, which he defined as dividing the just major second into three approximately equal parts. Costeley had other compositions that made use of intervals, such as the diminished third, which have a meaningful context in 19edo, but not in other tuning systems contemporary with the work. | Interest in this tuning system goes back to the sixteenth century, when composer Guillaume Costeley used it in his chanson [[Seigneur Dieu ta pitié]] of 1558.

In 1577 music theorist Francisco de Salinas proposed [[1/3 | In 1577, music theorist Francisco de Salinas proposed [[1/3-comma meantone]], in which the fifth is 694.786{{c}}; the fifth of 19edo is 694.737{{c}}, which is only a twentieth of a cent flatter. Salinas suggested tuning nineteen tones to the octave to this tuning, which comes within less than one cent of closing exactly, so that his suggestion is effectively 19edo. | ||
In 1835, mathematician and music theorist Wesley Woolhouse proposed it as a more practical alternative to meantone tunings he regarded as better, such as [[50edo|50 equal temperament]] ([http://www.tonalsoft.com/sonic-arts/monzo/woolhouse/essay.htm summary of Woolhouse's essay]). | In 1835, mathematician and music theorist Wesley Woolhouse proposed it as a more practical alternative to meantone tunings he regarded as better, such as [[50edo|50 equal temperament]] ([http://www.tonalsoft.com/sonic-arts/monzo/woolhouse/essay.htm summary of Woolhouse's essay]). | ||

Having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about 7 cents flat, | 19edo is the second edo, after [[12edo]], which is able to approximate [[5-limit]] intervals and chords with tolerable accuracy (unless you count [[15edo]], which has a 18-[[cent]]-sharp fifth). Having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about 7 cents flat, it serves as a good tuning for [[meantone]]. Unlike 12edo, where [[enharmonic]] notes are conflated, 19edo distinguishes them, and differs from [[17edo]] in that its [[diatonic semitone]] is wider than the [[chromatic semitone]], rather than narrower. In fact, it is nearly identical to the enharmonic scale of [[1/3-comma meantone]], and can be considered a closed form thereof. | ||
It is less successful in the [[7-limit]] as it conflates the septimal subminor third ([[7/6]]) with the septimal whole tone ([[8/7]]), but it is still better than 12edo overall. | |||

Besides meantone, 19edo is also suitable for [[magic | Besides meantone, 19edo is also suitable for [[magic]]/[[muggles]] temperament, because five of its major thirds are equivalent to one of its twelfths. Its 7-step supermajor third can be used for [[sensi]], whose generator is a very sharp major third, two of which make an approximate 5/3 major sixth. | ||
For all of these there are more optimal tunings: the fifth of 19edo is flatter than the usual for meantone, and [[31edo]] is more optimal. Similarly, the generating interval of magic temperament is a major third, and again 19edo's is flatter; [[41edo]] more closely matches it. It does make for a good tuning for muggles, but in 19edo it is the same as magic. Finally, 19edo can be used as a tuning for sensi, though [[46edo]] provides a better sensi tuning. | For all of these there are more optimal tunings: the fifth of 19edo is flatter than the usual for meantone, and [[31edo]] is more optimal.

Keemun and negri are of particular note for being very simple 7-limit temperaments, with their [[mos scale]]s in 19edo offering a great abundance of septimal tetrads. The [[Graham complexity]] of the [[4:5:6:7|7-odd-limit tetrad]] is 6 for keemun, 7 for negri, 8 for godzilla, 10 for meantone, 11 for triton, 12 for magic/muggles, and 13 for sensi. | ||

Due to the narrow whole tones and wide diatonic semitones, 19edo's diatonic scale tends to sound somewhat dull compared to 12edo, but the pentatonic scale is said by many to sound much more expressive owing to the significantly larger contrast between the narrow whole tone and wide minor third. While 12edo has an expressive diatonic and dull pentatonic, the reverse is true in 19. Pentatonicism thus becomes more important in 19edo, and one option is to use the pentatonic scale as a sort of "super-chord", with "chord progressions" being modulations between pentatonic subsets of the superdiatonic scale. | Due to the narrow whole tones and wide diatonic semitones, 19edo's diatonic scale tends to sound somewhat dull compared to 12edo, but the pentatonic scale is said by many to sound much more expressive owing to the significantly larger contrast between the narrow whole tone and wide minor third.

The no-11's 13-limit is represented relatively well and consistently. 19edo's negri, sensi and godzilla scales have many 13-limit chords. (You can think of the Sensi[8] [[3L 5s]] mos scale as 19edo's answer to the diminished scale. Both are made of two diminished seventh chords, but Sensi[8] gives you additional ratios of 7 and 13.) Its diminished fifth is also a very accurate approximation of the 23rd harmonic, being only 3.3{{c}} off [[23/16]]. | The no-11's 13-limit is represented relatively well and consistently. 19edo's negri, sensi and godzilla scales have many 13-limit chords.

Practically 19edo can be used ''adaptively'' on instruments which allow you to bend notes up: by different amounts, the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 13th harmonics are all tuned flat. This is in contrast to 12edo, where this is not possible since the 5th and 7th harmonics are not only much farther from just than they are in 19edo, but fairly sharp already. | Practically 19edo can be used ''adaptively'' on instruments which allow you to bend notes up: by different amounts, the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 13th harmonics are all tuned flat.

[[38edo]], which doubles 19edo, provides an approximation of harmonic 11 that works well with the flat tendency of its 5-limit mapping. See [[undevigintone]].

19edo has the flattest possible fifth of any edo that can possibly be [[diamond monotone]] in the [[15-odd-limit]]. Using 11\19 as the fifth, the sharpest possible mapping of [[5/4]] where [[10/9]] is no greater than [[9/8]] is 6\19, so the sharpest possible [[15/8]] is 17\19. Here [[16/15]] is a quarter of [[4/3]] (as in any [[negri]] tuning), so [[15/14]], [[14/13]], and [[13/12]] must all be equated with [[16/15]] to 2\19 for them to be monotone in size. If the fifth were any flatter, 5/4 and 15/8 would have to be flatter, and 16/15 would have to be sharper, so diamond monotone in the 15-odd-limit becomes impossible. 19edo is, in fact, diamond monotone in the 15-odd-limit, and even the [[17-odd-limit]] (see [[Monotonicity limits of small EDOs]]). The sharpest fifth where 15-odd-limit is possible is [[37edo#Miscellaneous properties|22\37]]. | |||

== Octave stretch == | == Octave stretch or compression == | ||
19edo is a promising option as a meantone tuning for pianos if split sharps are acceptable, since pianos are frequently tuned with stretched octaves due to the slight [[inharmonicity]] inherent in their strings. It also works well with harpsichords, since many have been, and are, built with split sharps. | |||
Octave stretching also means that an out-of-tune interval can be replaced with a compounded or inverted version of it which is near-[[just]]. For example, if we are using [[49ed6]] or [[30edt]] (which tune 6:1 and 3:1 just and have octaves stretched by 2.8 and 4.57{{c}}, respectively), then we have near-just minor thirds (6:5), compound major thirds (as 5:1), and compound fifths (as 6:1), giving us versions of everything in the 5-odd-limit [[tonality diamond]]. The compound major and minor triads (1:5:6 and 30:6:5) are near-just as well. Another possible choice is [[ZPI|65zpi]]. | |||
