Add note about range and horizontal octaves
Line 1: Line 1:
The '''standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean-like scale systems''' has a C on the middle of the 5 keys sticking out the very left side of the keyboard, and the C major scale goes horizontally across the keyboard from there. The whole tone goes right-and-slightly-up and the [[diatonic semitone]] goes right-and-down, which implies that the [[chromatic semitone]] (the amount by which ♯/♭ alter pitches) goes up-and-slightly-right.
The '''standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean-like scale systems''' has a C on the middle of the 5 keys sticking out the very left side of the keyboard, and the C major scale goes horizontally across the keyboard from there, with octaves perfectly horizontal. The range is just under five octaves. The whole tone goes right-and-slightly-up and the [[diatonic semitone]] goes right-and-down, which implies that the [[chromatic semitone]] (the amount by which ♯/♭ alter pitches) goes up-and-slightly-right.


The name for this general kind of mapping is the '''Bosanquet-Wilson layout'''.
