Fractional-period rank-2 temperaments have multiple genchains running in parallel. For example, shrutal[10] might look like this: | |||
F^ -- C^ -- G^ -- D^ -- A^ | Fractional-period rank-2 temperaments have multiple genchains running in parallel. Multiple genchains occur because a rank-2 genchain is really a 2 dimensional "genweb", running in octaves (or whatever the period is) vertically and fifths (or whatever the generator is) horizontally. | ||
C --- G ---- D --- A --- E | F2 --- C3 --- G3 --- D4 --- A4 --- E5 --- B5 | ||
F1 --- C2 --- G2 --- D3 --- A3 --- E4 --- B4 | |||
F0 --- C1 --- G1 --- D2 --- A2 --- E3 --- B3 | |||
When the period is an octave, the genweb octave-reduces to a single horizontal genchain: | |||
F --- C --- G --- D --- A --- E --- B | |||
But if the period is a half-octave, the genweb has vertical half-octaves, which octave-reduces to two parallel genchains. Temperaments with third-octave periods reduce to a triple-genchain, and so forth. For example, shrutal [10] might look like this: | |||
F^3 --- C^4 --- G^4 --- D^5 --- A^5 | |||
C3 ---- G3 ----- D4 ---- A4 ---- E5 | |||
F^2 --- C^3 --- G^3 --- D^4 --- A^4 | |||
C2 ---- G2 ----- D3 ---- A3 ---- E3 | |||
F^1 --- C^2 --- G^2 --- D^3 --- A^3 | |||
C1 ---- G1 ----- D2 ---- A2 ---- E2 | |||
which octave-reduces to two genchains: | |||
F^ --- C^ --- G^ --- D^ --- A^ | |||
C ---- G ----- D ---- A ---- E | |||
Moving up from C to F^ moves up a half-octave. Ups and downs are used (F^ not F#) because F# is on the wrong genchain. It's two steps to the right of E. The exact meaning of "up" here is "a half-octave minus a fourth", with the understanding that both the octave and the fourth may be tempered. F^ is a fourth plus an up, which works out to be exactly a half-octave. | Moving up from C to F^ moves up a half-octave. Ups and downs are used (F^ not F#) because F# is on the wrong genchain.

In order to be a MOS scale, the parallel genchains must of course be the right length, and without any gaps. But they must also line up exactly, so that each note has a neighbor immediately above and/or below.

There are only two Blackwood [10] modes. The period is a fifth-octave = 240¢. The generator is a just 5/4 = 386¢. L = 146¢ and s = 94¢. The lattice can be expressed using a 3\5 period Using ups and downs as before with each genchain at a different "height": | |||

Fractional-period rank-2 temperaments have multiple genchains running in parallel. For example, shrutal[10] might look like this:<br /> | <br /> | ||

F^ is a fourth plus an up, which works out to be exactly a half-octave.<br /> | Moving up from C to F^ moves up a half-octave. Ups and downs are used (F^ not F#) because F# is on the wrong genchain.

There are only two Blackwood [10] modes. The period is a fifth-octave = 240¢. The generator is a just 5/4 = 386¢. L = 146¢ and s = 94¢. Ups and downs | There are only two Blackwood [10] modes. The period is a fifth-octave = 240¢. The generator is a just 5/4 = 386¢. L = 146¢ and s = 94¢. The lattice can be expressed using a 3\5 period Using ups and downs as before with each genchain at a different &quot;height&quot;:<br /> | ||
E^^ ------- G#^^<br /> | |||
D^ -------- F#^<br /> | |||
C ---------- E<br /> | |||
Bbv ------- Fv<br /> | |||
Gvv ------- Dvv<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Ups and downs could indicate the generator instead of the period:<br /> | |||
F ------ Av<br /> | |||
D ------ F#v<br /> | |||
C ------ Ev<br /> | |||
A ------ C#v<br /> | |||
G ------ Bv<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Assuming octave equivalence, the lattice rows can be reordered to make a &quot;pseudo-period&quot; of 3\5 = ~3/2.<br /> | |||
F ------ Av<br /> | |||
C ------ Ev<br /> | |||
G ------ Bv<br /> | |||
D ------ F#v<br /> | |||
A ------ C#v<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Using color notation:<br /> | |||
wF ------ yA<br /> | |||
wC ------ yE<br /> | |||
wG ------ yB<br /> | |||
wD ------ yF#<br /> | |||
wA ------ yC#<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Using ups and downs to mean &quot;raised/lowered by ~81/80&quot;:<br /> | |||

In the 2nd example, &quot;b4&quot; means a 4th flattened relative to the 4th in 1st<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Alterations are heptatonic because the notation is heptatonic. The notation is heptatonic because Meantone [7] is the largest MOS contained in Meantone [8] or Meantone [9].<br /> | |||
