Marvel woo is the marvel tuning with 10/3, 7/2 and 11 as | Marvel woo is the marvel tuning with 10/3, 7/2 and 11 as [[eigenmonzo]]s. This gives three monzos with eigenvalue 1, and two with eigenvalue 0, allowing us to construct a projection matrix whose columns (or rows if you prefer) are fractional monzos, which defines the tuning. This matrix is [|0 -4 4 4 4>, |-21 6 -6 15 8>, |7 -18 18 11 4>, |-28 -4 4 32 4>, |0 0 0 0 28>]/28. It leads to a tuning where the octave is sharp by |-7 -1 1 1 1>/7 = (385/384)^(1/7), about 0.643 [[cent]]s. In this tuning, 9/5 and 12/7 are sharp by only |-49 -26 -2 19 12>/28 = (385/384)^(3/7)/(225/224)^(1/4), about 0.0018 cents. Putting 10/3, 7/2, 11 and 9/5 together with 2 leads to the full 11-limit. This means every interval in the 11-limit tonality diamond is either pure, ±0.0018 cents from pure, or a certain number of octaves away from an interval which is within 0.0018 cents of pure. Because of this, the [[beat ratio]]s of everything in the [[11-limit diamond]] are closely approximated by small integer ratios. For instance, for every eight beats of the [[octave]] in the chord 1-5/4-3/2-7/4-2, the approximate [[5/4]] beats approximately 20 times, [[3/2]] 12 times, and [[7/4]] 7 times; the actual numbers being 8, 19.968, 11.977 and 6.997 respectively. | ||
