Talk:Kite's thoughts on fifthspans: Difference between revisions

: Thus 1\24 has a fifthspan of 3.5 (or -8.5), but a fourthspan of 2.5 (or -9.5). Using fifthspans, 5\24 is quite remote, but using fourthspans it's very nearby. I suppose we could make a rule that fourthspans are not allowed, but that seems capricious to me. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 21:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC) | : Thus 1\24 has a fifthspan of 3.5 (or -8.5), but a fourthspan of 2.5 (or -9.5).

:: Based upon the [[Ploidacot]] explanation, it shouldn't be a surprise that a fourthspan wouldn't work the same way as a negative fifthspan, since to get a fourthspan from a negative fifthspan, you need to add an equave, which might not be dividible by the same number as the fifthspan. In 24EDO you can divide both by 2, but in 34EDO, you can divide the fifth (20\34) by 4 (as part of 34EDO being tetracot), but you can't divide the fourth (14\34) by 4. So you would just have to accept that fifthspan and fourthspan won't have a simple relationship to each other. | |||
