Buzzardsmic clan: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

The [[2.3.7 subgroup|2.3.7-subgroup]] [[comma]] for the '''buzzardsmic clan''' is the buzzardsma, [[65536/64827]], with [[monzo]] {{monzo| 16 -3 0 -4 }}, which implies that the tritave, [[3/1]], is divided into four intervals each representing a [[21/16]] subfourth. [[Tempering out]] this comma implies a sharpened [[7/1|7th]] [[harmonic]], and especially a sharpened [[~]]21/16 generator, which approaches the 480{{c}} fourth of [[5edo]].

Extensions of buzzard to incorporate [[prime interval|prime]] [[5/1|5]] along its chain of generators (and therefore the full [[7-limit]]) include septimal buzzard ({{nowrap| 53 & 58 }}), which tempers out [[1728/1715]] (and [[5120/5103]]); ~~subfourth~~ ({{nowrap| 58 & 63 }}), which tempers out [[10976/10935]]; and lemongrass ({{nowrap| 63 & 68 }}), which tempers out [[245/243]]. All are considered below.

Extensions of buzzard to incorporate [[prime interval|prime]] [[5/1|5]] along its chain of generators (and therefore the full [[7-limit]]) include septimal buzzard ({{nowrap| 53 & 58 }}), which tempers out [[1728/1715]] (and [[5120/5103]]); redtail ({{nowrap| 58 & 63 }}), which tempers out [[10976/10935]]; and lemongrass ({{nowrap| 63 & 68 }}), which tempers out [[245/243]]. All are considered below.

Weak extensions include demibuzzard ({{nowrap| 10 & 53 }}), which tempers out [[225/224]] and splits [[32/21]] (the superfifth) in two; thuja ({{nowrap| 15 & 43 }}), which tempers out [[126/125]] and splits [[21/8]] into three; subsedia ({{nowrap| 10 & 111 }}), which tempers out [[16875/16807]] and splits [[21/16]] in four; and anthoine ({{nowrap| 25 & 53 }}), which tempers out [[3125/3087]] and splits [[21/2]] in five.

Line 152:

Redtail tempers out [[10976/10935]] and may be described as the {{nowrap| 58 & 63 }} temperament, more notable in the higher limits than the lower as it supplies a lot of essentially tempered chords there, including everything from [[parapyth]]. Among the good tunings are [[121edo]] and [[179edo]] using the 179ef val in the 13-limit.

It was previously named ~~“subfourth”~~ but was renamed ~~“redtail”~~ to avoid confusion with the [[interval region]]. The name ~~“redtail”~~ was coined by [[Frostburn]], named after the red tailed hawk.

It was previously named ''subfourth'' but was renamed in 2026 to avoid confusion with the [[interval region]] and to increase distinctiveness in the clan. The name ''redtail'' was coined by [[Frostburn]], named after the red-tailed hawk.
