:::: I couldn't resist looking up some syntonic comma equivalents of the Georgian 7WT, reportedly most commonly alternating 4ED3/2 (step size 175.489¢) and 3ED4/3 (step size 166.015¢). You can get REAL CLOSE to these with alternating 2/3-comma meantone (9/8 flattened by 4/3 syntonic comma = 175.235¢) and 7/8-comma meantone (9/8 flattened by 7/4 syntonic comma = 166.274¢). So did the Georgia 7WT really arise as alternating 4ED3/2 and 3ED4/3, or did it come from alternating 2/3-comma meantone and 7/8-comma meantone and then inflating one or both very slightly to make the octave just (from 1190.8¢ to 1200.0¢)?

::::: Are you sure these Georgian 7wt intervals are related to meantone at all? Is 5-limit harmony sought for in this tradition in the first place? [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 07:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
