Mina: Difference between revisions

The '''mina''' is a unit of interval size which has been proposed by [[George Secor]] and [[Dave Keenan]], and which is defined as 1/2460 of an [[octave]], the step size of [[2460edo]]. 2460 is divisible by both 12 and 41, two important systems, and it's been suggested that degrees and minutes can be used to express values in it, so that for instance 3/2, which is 1439 minas, could be denoted by 23°59', meaning very slightly flat of the 24\41 [[41edo]] fifths. This works out since 41 * 60 = 2460; an octave is therefore expressed as if it were an angle of 41 degrees.

Other popular systems that can be represented exactly in whole numbers of minas include [[10edo]] and [[15edo]]. Moreover a cent is exactly 2.05 minas, and a ''[[mem]]'', 1\205 octaves, is exactly 12 minas.
