29edo: Difference between revisions

Changed wording; I do think sevenths are more conceptually useful, as they’re used in tetrads constructed with thirds, but anyone is free to change that back with their own sound reasoning.

29edo has inframinor, neogothic minor, supraminor, submajor, neogothic major, and ultramajor thirds and sevenths. This is in contrast to systems like [[31edo]], where there are only subminor, minor, neutral, major, and supermajor thirds and sevenths. This is due to 29edo representing 2.3.7/5.11/5.13/5 well, and ratios between two primes greater than 3 tend to land between interval categories of intervals in a 2.3.p subgroup. For example, 2.3.5 intervals are major/minor, 2.3.7 intervals are supermajor/subminor, and 2.3.11 and 2.3.13 intervals are neutral. 31edo, on the other hand, represents 2.3.5.7.11 well, and thus has interval categories represented in 2.3.5, 2.3.7, and 2.3.11. It can also be seen from the fact that the 29&31 temperament, [[tritonic]], maps seconds and thirds to large numbers of generators, so they differ more in tuning between the systems.
