Homothetic just intonation is a kind of extended [[just intonation]] conceived by [[Sui-hin Mak]]. The term 'homothetic' refers to the {{w|Homothetic center#Computing homothetic centers|homothetic formula}} for circles. The tuning aims at producing the pitches between notes of an existing prime limit JI pitch collection. | Homothetic just intonation is a kind of extended [[just intonation]] conceived by [[Sui-hin Mak]].

Circles are drawn on an axis with the existing pitches as their centres, and with their sizes determined by its prime factors. The homothetic formula ''x''<sub>0</sub> | Circles are drawn on an axis with the existing pitches as their centres, and with their sizes determined by its prime factors. The homothetic formula {{nowrap|''x''<sub>0</sub> {{=}} {{sfrac|''r''<sub>2</sub>''x''<sub>1</sub> + ''r''<sub>1</sub>''x''<sub>2</sub>|''r''<sub>1</sub> + ''r''<sub>2</sub>}}}} is used to locate the intersection of common tangents of two given circles. The new pitch between two successive existing pitches is determined by the homothetic centre of the two circles. | ||
