Kite's color notation/Temperament names: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

Sometimes the smallest ratio in a segment is a multiple of another comma. For example, the smallest ratio in the central segment of the zozogugu row is 441/440. But since this is (21/20)<sup>2</sup>, tempering it out would simply result in zgT. Thus there is no bizogu temperament, although there is a bizogubi one.

A temperament name will never end with -quin, -tribi or -sep, because it would be named after the octave inverse of the comma instead. Sagusep is actually layo, and sagutribi is actually layobi.

A temperament name will never end with -quin, -tribi or -sep, because it would be named after the octave inverse of the comma instead. Sagusep is actually layo, and sagutribi is actually layobi. Any comma that is 204-294¢ is -bi, and any 408-498¢ comma is -tri.

La means large and also 11-all. The meaning will almost always be clear from context, however "this piece uses la notes" is ambiguous. To clarify, one should say either "large notes" (fifthward notes) or "ila notes" (11-limit notes). Likewise, sa also means 17-all, and "sa notes" should become either "small notes" or "isa notes".
