Revision as of 02:04, 13 December 2024
- 0: A fancy way to say “pitchless”.
- 1: Equivalent to 2-limit JI. Not much about harmony. Possibly useful for a transition between different tunings.
- 2:
- 3:
- ...
- 6: Incomplete 12edo.
- ...
- 9: A subset of ennealimmal.
- ...
- 11: Incomplete 22edo.
- 12: A good tuning for almost all music, but maybe not perfect. Very excellent 3/2 as well as prime 17 and 19 for its size. Easy to make accurate NEJIs.
- ...
- 15: Better than it seems to be, tho still rough. A heavily stretched Carlos Alpha scale.
- ...
- 17: Interesting sharp fifths.
- ...
- 19: Meantone, but with a too flat fifth. Stran. Also a compressed Carlos Beta. 31edo is more preferable. The lower bound of a good fifth.
- ...
- 22: Good superpyth and porcupine tuning. The higher bound of a good fifth.
- ...
- 24: 12edo with neutral intervals. Good for prime 11.
- ...
- 31: Ideal for pure-octave meantone, combining lots of 11-limit extensions in a single tuning. For other temperaments its flat fifth is a drawback.
- ..
- 34: 17 with prime 5.
- ...
- 36: Incomplete 72edo.
- 37: Everything but prime 3. Maybe interesting though.
- ...
- 50: Good flatter meantone, but I usually just go for golden meantone at this level of precision.
- ...
- 53: Almost just 3/2, and accurate 7-limit. Purely an approximation of JI.
- ...
- 72: An excellent extension of 12- and 24edo.
- ...
