User:BudjarnLambeth/Table of n-comma meantone generators: Difference between revisions

m Remove “the largest this can generate is n tone” because that’s self evident and doesn’t need to be said, remove all the “important to negative harmony” because that was on almost every entry and cluttered the table making it hard to read, remove the unsourced claims about history that contradict everything I’ve ever read, remove extra added EDOs because this is about n-comma, not about EDOs, EDOs can have their own different table, other similar cleanup

Here are all [[meantone]] tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between 0 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller. Also included are 5, 7 and 12edo (to delineate MOS shapes), as well as a few other notable meantone tunings (e.g. 4/25-comma).
Here are all [[meantone]] tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between -1 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller.  
 
Also included are 7, 12, 17 and 5 [[edo]]s (to delineate [[MOS]] shapes), as well as the other tunings listed under "[[historical temperaments]]" (e.g. 4/25-comma), ''but only the ones of the form "n-comma"''.


The comma being divided here is the syntonic comma ([[81/80]]).

Temperaments that fall outside of the diamond monotone range will not provide most of the advantages that meantone usually provides, but they are included for completeness.

Dozens of tunings on the table are significant to [[negative harmony temperaments|negative harmony temperament theory]], enough that labelling them all individually would clutter the table.
