Talk:33/32: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

::: Another meantone-centrist mindset is to think chromatic semitone is smaller than diatonic semitone. A demonstration of this is 28/27 and 21/20 being called septimal chroma, despite that both are diatonic in both size and function.

:::: What do you mean by "meantone centrist"? The fact is that when you refer to "meantone", I invariably think of those temperaments where the syntonic comma is tempered out... Dare I point out that 16/15 only differs from the apotome by the ''schisma'', and as far as I'm concerned, 16/15 is a diatonic semitone... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 11:22, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

:::: One more thing... the stuff I posted on your user page weighs in on this as well. In the end, I'm coming from the standpoint of how an interval functions relative to the tonic. While you are right in pointing out that grammar of specific temperaments ought to be avoided, I'm forced to consider the fact that there's a general tendency for intervals to have specific functions depending on their size. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 11:33, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

:: Oh, and Flora, no offense taken. Sorry I didn't say so earlier... Perhaps once I get the musical function map finalized, we can look over it and see if you also think it is a good guide for organizing the interval names- you know, such as whether 33/32 is a prime or a second, or even both at once... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
