}}The minor ninth of a diatonic scale has a '''5L 3s''' [[MOS]] structure with generators ranging from 2\5 (two degrees of 5ed8\7 = 548.) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5ed8\7, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).


Any edIX of an interval up to 8\7 with an interval between 450¢ and 548.has a 5L 3s scale. [[13edIX]] is the smallest edIX with a (non-degenerate) 5L 3s scale and thus is the most commonly used 5L 3s tuning.
Any ed15/7 with an interval between 494.8¢ and 527.has a 5L 3s scale. [[13ed15/7]] is the smallest edIX with a (non-degenerate) 5L 3s scale and thus is the most commonly used 5L 3s tuning.

The table of Neapolitan-oneirotonic intervals below takes the fourth as the generator. Given the size of the fourth generator ''g'', any oneirotonic interval can easily be found by noting what multiple of ''g'' it is, and multiplying the size by the number ''k'' of generators it takes to reach the interval and reducing mod 1300 (for relative cents) if necessary (so you can use "''k''*''g'' % 1300" for search engines, for plugged-in values of ''k'' and ''g''). For example, since the major third is reached by six fourth generators, 18edIX's major third is 6*505.56 mod 1300 = 3033.33 mod 1300 = 433.33r¢.

*The large step is between near the meantone and near the Pythagorean 9/8 whole tone, somewhere between as in [[19edo]] and as in [[17edo|12edo]].
*The major 3rd (made of two large steps) is a near-[[Just intonation|just]] to near-[[Pythagorean]] major third.
*The major 3rd (made of two large steps) is a near-[[Just intonation|just]] to near-[[Pythagorean]] major third.
The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of Neapolitan-oneirotonic are as follows in various hyposoft Neapolitan-oneiro tunings (13edIX not shown).
The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of Neapolitan-oneirotonic are as follows in various hyposoft Neapolitan-oneiro tunings ([[13edIX|13ed15/7]] not shown).

[[Archytas clan#Ultrapyth|Ultrapythagorean]] Neapolitan-oneirotonic is a rank-2 temperament in the [[Step ratio|pseudopaucitonic]] range. It represents the [[harmonic entropy]] minimum of the Neapolitan-oneirotonic spectrum where [[7/4]] is the major seventh.
[[Archytas clan#Ultrapyth|Ultrapythagorean]] Neapolitan-oneirotonic is a rank-2 temperament in the [[Step ratio|pseudopaucitonic]] range. It represents the [[harmonic entropy]] minimum of the Neapolitan-oneirotonic spectrum where [[7/4]] is the major seventh.


In the broad sense, Ultrapyth can be viewed as any tuning that divides a 16/7 into 2 equal parts. 23edIX, 28edIX and 33edIX can nominally be viewed as supporting it, but are still very flat and in an ambiguous zone between 18edIX and true Buzzard in terms of harmonies. 38edIX & 43edIX are good compromises between melodic utility and harmonic accuracy, as the small step is still large enough to be obvious to the untrained ear, but 48edIX is where it really comes into its own in terms of harmonies, providing not only excellent 7:8:9 melodies, but also [[5/4]] and [[The_Archipelago|archipelago]] harmonies, as by shifting one whole tone done a comma, it shifts from [[The Archipelago|archipelago]] to septimal harmonies.

Beyond that, it's a question of which intervals you want to favor. 53edIX has an essentially perfect [[7/4]], 58edIX also gives three essentially perfect chains of third-comma meantone, while 63edIX has a double chain of essentially perfect quarter-comma meantone and gives about as low overall error as 83edIX does for the basic 4:6:7 triad. But beyond 83edIX, general accuracy drops off rapidly and you might as well be playing equal pentatonic.

The minor ninth of a diatonic scale has a 5L 3s MOS structure with generators ranging from 2\5 (two degrees of 5ed15/7 = 527.8¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of 8ed15/7 = 494.8¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5ed15/7, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).

Any ed15/7 with an interval between 494.8¢ and 527.8¢ has a 5L 3s scale. 13ed15/7 is the smallest edIX with a (non-degenerate) 5L 3s scale and thus is the most commonly used 5L 3s tuning.

Standing assumptions

The TAMNAMS system is used in this article to name 5L 3s<15/7> intervals and step size ratios and step ratio ranges.

The notation used in this article is G Mixolydian Mediant (LLsLLsLs) = GABCQDEFG, unless specified otherwise. We denote raising and lowering by a chroma (L − s) by # and f "flat (F molle)".

The chain of perfect 4ths becomes: ... Ef Af Qf Ff Bf Df G C E A Q F B D ...

Thus the 13ed15/7 gamut is as follows:

G/F# G#/Af A A#/Bf B/Cf C/B# C#/Qf Q Q#/Df D/Ef E/D# E#/Ff F/Gf G

The 18ed15/7 gamut is notated as follows:

G F#/Af G# A Bf A#/Cf B C B#/Qf C# Q Df Q#/Ef D E D#/Ff E#/Gf F G

The 21ed15/7 gamut:

G G# Af A A# Bf B B#/Cf C C# Qf Q Q# Df D D#/Ef E E# Ff F F#/Gf G

Names

The author suggests the name Neapolitan-oneirotonic.

Intervals

The table of Neapolitan-oneirotonic intervals below takes the fourth as the generator. Given the size of the fourth generator g, any oneirotonic interval can easily be found by noting what multiple of g it is, and multiplying the size by the number k of generators it takes to reach the interval.

Notation (1/1 = G) name In L's and s's # generators up Notation of 15/7 inverse name In L's and s's
The 8-note MOS has the following intervals (from some root):
0 G perfect unison 0L + 0s 0 G “perfect” minor 9th 5L + 3s
1 C natural 4th 2L + 1s -1 Df minor 6th 3L + 2s
2 E major 7th 4L + 2s -2 Bf minor 3rd 1L + 1s
3 A major 2nd 1L + 0s -3 Ff diminished octave 4L + 3s
4 Q perfect 5th 3L + 1s -4 Qf diminished 5th 2L + 2s
5 F perfect octave 5L + 2s -5 Af minor 2nd 0L + 1s
6 B major 3rd 2L + 0s -6 Ef minor 7th 3L + 3s
7 D major 6th 4L + 1s -7 Cf diminished 4th 1L + 2s
The chromatic 13-note MOS (either 5L 8s, 8L 5s, or 13ed15/7) also has the following intervals (from some root):
8 G# augmented unison 1L - 1s -8 Gf diminished 9th 4L + 4s
9 C# augmented 4th 3L + 0s -9 Dff diminished 6th 2L + 3s
10 E# augmented 7th 5L + 1s -10 Bff diminished 3rd 0L + 2s
11 A# augmented 2nd 2L - 1s -11 Fff doubly diminished octave 3L + 4s
12 Q# augmented 5th 4L + 0s -12 Qff doubly diminished 5th 1L + 3s

Hypohard Neapolitan-oneirotonic tunings (with generator between 5\13 and 7\18) have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1.

Hypohard Neapolitan-oneirotonic can be considered " superpythagorean Neapolitan-oneirotonic". This is because these tunings share the following features with superpythagorean diatonic tunings:

    • The large step is near the Pythagorean 9/8 whole tone, somewhere between as in 12edo and as in 17edo.
    • The major 3rd (made of two large steps) is a near-Pythagorean to Neogothic major third.

EDIXs that are in the hypohard range include 13ed15/7, 18ed15/7, and 31ed15/7.

The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of Neapolitan-oneirotonic are as follows in various hypohard Neapolitan-oneiro tunings.

Hyposoft

Hyposoft Neapolitan-oneirotonic tunings (with generator between 8\21 and 5\13) have step ratios between 3/2 and 2/1. The 8\21-to-5\13 range of Neapolitan-oneirotonic tunings can be considered "meantone Neapolitan-oneirotonic”. This is because these tunings share the following features with meantone diatonic tunings:

  • The large step is between near the meantone and near the Pythagorean 9/8 whole tone, somewhere between as in 19edo and as in 12edo.
  • The major 3rd (made of two large steps) is a near-just to near-Pythagorean major third.

Ultrahard

Ultrapythagorean Neapolitan-oneirotonic is a rank-2 temperament in the pseudopaucitonic range. It represents the harmonic entropy minimum of the Neapolitan-oneirotonic spectrum where 7/4 is the major seventh.

In the broad sense, Ultrapyth can be viewed as any tuning that divides a 16/7 into 2 equal parts. 23ed15/7, 28ed15/7 and 33ed15/7 can nominally be viewed as supporting it, but are still very flat and in an ambiguous zone between 18ed15/7 and true Buzzard in terms of harmonies. 38ed15/7 & 43ed15/7 are good compromises between melodic utility and harmonic accuracy, as the small step is still large enough to be obvious to the untrained ear, but 48edIX is where it really comes into its own in terms of harmonies, providing not only excellent 7:8:9 melodies, but also 5/4 and archipelago harmonies, as by shifting one whole tone done a comma, it shifts from archipelago to septimal harmonies.

Beyond that, it's a question of which intervals you want to favor. 53ed15/7 has an essentially perfect 7/4, 58edIX also gives three essentially perfect chains of third-comma meantone, while 63ed15/7 has a double chain of essentially perfect quarter-comma meantone and gives about as low overall error as 83ed15/7 does for the basic 4:6:7 triad. But beyond 83edIX, general accuracy drops off rapidly and you might as well be playing equal pentatonic.

The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of Neapolitan-oneirotonic are as follows in various ultrapyth tunings.
