2.3.7 subgroup: Difference between revisions
why are we putting the less common name first |
Restored the color names, because subminor pentatonic is a vague description, but zo pentatonic is a precise identification, and thus a better name. |

This subgroup is notably well-represented by [[5edo]] for its size, and therefore many of its simple intervals tend to cluster around the notes of 5edo: [[9/8]]~[[8/7]]~[[7/6]] representing a pentatonic "second", [[9/7]]~[[21/16]]~[[4/3]] representing a pentatonic "third", and so on. Therefore, one way to approach the 2.3.7 subgroup is to think of a pentatonic framework for composition as natural to it, rather than the diatonic framework associated with the [[5-limit]], and a few of the scales below reflect that nature. | This subgroup is notably well-represented by [[5edo]] for its size, and therefore many of its simple intervals tend to cluster around the notes of 5edo: [[9/8]]~[[8/7]]~[[7/6]] representing a pentatonic "second", [[9/7]]~[[21/16]]~[[4/3]] representing a pentatonic "third", and so on.
