15-edo can be seen as a [[7-limit]] temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to [[11-limit]] intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15-edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics (or to at least treat them with sensitivity). 15-edo is also notable for being the smallest edo with recognizable, distinct representations of 5-odd limit intervals (3/2, 5/4, and 6/5) that has a positive [[81_80|syntonic comma]]. | 15-edo can be seen as a [[7-limit]] temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to [[11-limit]] intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15-edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics (or to at least treat them with sensitivity). 15-edo is also notable for being the smallest edo with recognizable, distinct representations of 5-odd limit intervals (3/2, 5/4, and 6/5) that has a positive [[81_80|syntonic comma]]. | ||
In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modulated anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo. | In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting.

A recommended method to the notation of 15-edo by some is a system based on porcupine[8] in which eight nominals form the base diatonic scale. In this sense, the "quill" is the name given to the two step interval (160c) of 15-edo while the "small quill" (80c) is the chroma of 15-edo. This produces a very consistent notation for both porcupine[8] and Blackwood[10] and seems to work much better than attempting to put 15-edo into a seven nominal based framework. | A recommended method to the notation of 15-edo by some is a system based on porcupine[8] in which eight nominals form the base diatonic scale.

15-EDO offers some minor improvements over 12-TET in ratios of 5 (particularly in 6/5 and 5/3), and has a much better approximation to the 7th and 11th harmonics, but its approximation to the 3rd harmonic is rather off. However, the particular way in which this approximation is off is as much a feature as it is a bug, for it allows the construction of a 5L5s MOS scale wherein every note of the scale can serve as a root for a 7-limit otonal or utonal tetrad, as well as either a 5-limit major or minor 7th chord. This is known as Blackwood temperament, named after Easley Blackwood, Jr., who is the first to document its existence. It has also been written on extensively by [[IgliashonJones|Igliashon Jones]] in the paper "[[http://www.cityoftheasleep.com/etc/5nEDOs.pdf|Five is Not an Odd Number]]".

15-EDO offers some minor improvements over 12-TET in ratios of 5 (particularly in 6/5 and 5/3), and has a much better approximation to the 7th and 11th harmonics, but its approximation to the 3rd harmonic is rather off. However, the particular way in which this approximation is off is as much a feature as it is a bug, for it allows the construction of a 5L5s MOS scale wherein every note of the scale can serve as a root for a 7-limit otonal or utonal tetrad, as well as either a 5-limit major or minor 7th chord. This is known as Blackwood temperament, named after Easley Blackwood, Jr., who is the first to document its existence.

Original Wikitext content:
[[toc]] =15-tone equal temperament= <span style="display: block; text-align: right;">[[15平均律|日本語]] </span> From [[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_equal_temperament|Wikipedia]]: "In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^(1/15), or 80 [[cent]]s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of [[5edo|5 equal divisions of the octave]] (or five scales of [[3edo]])." 15-edo can be seen as a [[7-limit]] temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to [[11-limit]] intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15-edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics (or to at least treat them with sensitivity). 15-edo is also notable for being the smallest edo with recognizable, distinct representations of 5-odd limit intervals (3/2, 5/4, and 6/5) that has a positive [[81_80|syntonic comma]]. In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modulated anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo. A recommended method to the notation of 15-edo by some is a system based on porcupine[8] in which eight nominals form the base diatonic scale. In this sense, the "quill" is the name given to the two step interval (160c) of 15-edo while the "small quill" (80c) is the chroma of 15-edo. This produces a very consistent notation for both porcupine[8] and Blackwood[10] and seems to work much better than attempting to put 15-edo into a seven nominal based framework. =Images= [[image:15edo wheel.png width="225" height="225"]][[image:15edo wheel 02.png width="250" height="250"]][[image:15edo wheel 03.png width="220" height="220"]] =Intervals= || Degree || Cents DMS || Solfege (porcupine-based) || Porcupine[8] based notation || Blackwood "guitar notation" || Porcupine[7] (traditional) || Blackwood Decimal ||= Approximate Ratios* || || 0 || 0 || do || b || E || G || 1 ||= 1/1 || || 1 || 80 24° || di || cb || E# || G# / Abb || 1# / 2b ||= 25/24, 21/20, 16/15 || || 2 || 160 48° || ru || c || Gb || Gx / Ab || 2 ||= 11/10, 12/11, 10/9 || || 3 || 240 72° || re || d || G || A || 3 ||= 8/7, 7/6, 9/8 || || 4 || 320 96° || me || db || G# || A# / Bb || 3# / 4b ||= 6/5, 11/9 || || 5 || 400 120° || mi || ð (eth) || Ab || B || 4 ||= 5/4, 14/11 || || 6 || 480 144° || fa || ð# || A || B# / Cb || 5 ||= 4/3, 9/7, 21/16 || || 7 || 560 168° || fu || e || A# || C || 5# / 6b ||= 11/8, 7/5 || || 8 || 640 192° || su || e# || Bb || C# / Db || 6 ||= 16/11, 10/7 || || 9 || 720 216° || sol || f || B || D || 7 ||= 3/2, 14/9, 32/21 || || 10 || 800 240° || le || f# || B# || D# / Eb || 7# / 8b ||= 8/5, 11/7 || || 11 || 880 264° || la || þ (thorn) || Db || E || 8 ||= 5/3, 18/11 || || 12 || 960 288° || ta || þ# || D || E# / Fb || 9 ||= 7/4, 12/7, 16/9 || || 13 || 1040 312° || tu || æ (ash) || D# || F || 9# / 0b ||= 20/11, 11/6, 9/5 || || 14 || 1120 336° || ti || æ# || Eb || F# /Gb || 0 ||= 48/25, 40/21, 15/8 || || 15 || 1200 360° || do || b || E || G || 1 ||= 2/1 || *based on treating 15-EDO as an 11-limit temperament; other approaches are possible 15-EDO offers some minor improvements over 12-TET in ratios of 5 (particularly in 6/5 and 5/3), and has a much better approximation to the 7th and 11th harmonics, but its approximation to the 3rd harmonic is rather off. However, the particular way in which this approximation is off is as much a feature as it is a bug, for it allows the construction of a 5L5s MOS scale wherein every note of the scale can serve as a root for a 7-limit otonal or utonal tetrad, as well as either a 5-limit major or minor 7th chord. This is known as Blackwood temperament, named after Easley Blackwood, Jr., who is the first to document its existence. It has also been written on extensively by [[IgliashonJones|Igliashon Jones]] in the paper "[[http://www.cityoftheasleep.com/etc/5nEDOs.pdf|Five is Not an Odd Number]]". For an in-depth treatment of harmony in 15-edo based on this temperament (and its 7- and 11-limit extensions), see [[@Harmony in 15edo Blacksmith|Harmony in 15edo Blacksmith[10]]].

If one starts the circle of fourths on B — B-E-A-D-G-(B) — then the open strings of the guitar can be notated as usual (E-A-D-G-B-E). However, because the circle of fourths closes at five, and does not continue to circulate through the other 10 notes of 15-edo, it is necessary to use accidentals to notate intervals on the other two chains of 5-edo. This notation is not particularly ideal as a basis for a staff notation (as it requires all non-5edo chords to be notated with accidentals). It is nevertheless useful because it reflects an intuitive approach to 15-edo on the guitar, since 5-edo provides a useful set of 3-limit landmarks (or "perfect fourths" and "perfect fifths") that can be used to navigate the fretboard. It's especially convenient for writing chord charts, where the funky accidental-laden spellings can be more or less ignored. ==Porcupine Notation== * See the main [[Porcupine Notation|porcupine notation]] page. ==Porcupine[8] Based Notation== [[image:porcupine alphabet.png width="400" height="81"]] William Lynch proposes notating 15 EDO based on an eight nominal system using the old english letters: b c d ð e f þ æ as the alphabet. Porcupine[7] can also be notated by omitting "ð" The full alphabet with normal sharps and flats: b b# c c# d ð ð# e e# f f# þ þ# æ æ# alphabet with ups and downs: b b^ c c^ d ð ð^ e e^ f f^ þ þ^ æ æ^ ==Interval names for Porcupine[8]:== || Cents || Interval Name || Note names || || 80 || Half Quill || b - cb || || 160 || Quill || b - c || || 240 || Small Diquill || b - b || || 320 || Large Diquill || b - d || || 400 || Small Triquill || b - ð || || 480 || Large Triquill || b - ð# || || 560 || Small Fourquill || b - e || || 640 || Large Fourquill || b - e# || || 720 || Small Fivequill || b - f || || 800 || Large Fivequill || b - f# || || 880 || Small Sixquill || b - þ || || 960 || Large Sixquill || b - þ# || || 1040 || Small Sevenquill || b - æ || || 1120 || Large Sevenquill || b - æ# || || 1200 || Octoquill || b - b || =Rank two temperaments= [[List of 15et rank two temperaments by badness]] [[List of edo-distinct 15et rank two temperaments]] ||~ Periods per octave ||~ Generator ||~ Temperaments || || 1 || 1\15 || [[Nautilus]]/[[valentine]] || || 1 || 2\15 || [[Porcupine]]/[[opossum]] || || 1 || 4\15 || [[Hanson]]/[[Keemun|keemun]]/[[orgone]] || || 1 || 7\15 || [[Progress]] || || 3 || 1\15 || [[Augmented]]/[[Augene|augene]] || || 3 || 2\15 || [[Triforce]] || || 5 || 1\15 || [[Blackwood]]/[[blacksmith]] || =Commas= 15 EDO [[tempering out|tempers]] out the following [[comma]]s.

From <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_equal_temperament" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:<br />
"In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the <a class="wiki_link" href="/octave">octave</a> into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^(1/15), or 80 <a class="wiki_link" href="/cent">cent</a>s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of <a class="wiki_link" href="/5edo">5 equal divisions of the octave</a> (or five scales of <a class="wiki_link" href="/3edo">3edo</a>)."<br />
<br />
15-edo can be seen as a <a class="wiki_link" href="/7-limit">7-limit</a> temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to <a class="wiki_link" href="/11-limit">11-limit</a> intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15-edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics (or to at least treat them with sensitivity). 15-edo is also notable for being the smallest edo with recognizable, distinct representations of 5-odd limit intervals (3/2, 5/4, and 6/5) that has a positive <a class="wiki_link" href="/81_80">syntonic comma</a>.<br />
<br />
In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modulated anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo.<br />
<br />
A recommended method to the notation of 15-edo by some is a system based on porcupine[8] in which eight nominals form the base diatonic scale. In this sense, the "quill" is the name given to the two step interval (160c) of 15-edo while the "small quill" (80c) is the chroma of 15-edo. This produces a very consistent notation for both porcupine[8] and Blackwood[10] and seems to work much better than attempting to put 15-edo into a seven nominal based framework.<br />

*based on treating 15-EDO as an 11-limit temperament; other approaches are possible<br />
<br />
15-EDO offers some minor improvements over 12-TET in ratios of 5 (particularly in 6/5 and 5/3), and has a much better approximation to the 7th and 11th harmonics, but its approximation to the 3rd harmonic is rather off. However, the particular way in which this approximation is off is as much a feature as it is a bug, for it allows the construction of a 5L5s MOS scale wherein every note of the scale can serve as a root for a 7-limit otonal or utonal tetrad, as well as either a 5-limit major or minor 7th chord. This is known as Blackwood temperament, named after Easley Blackwood, Jr., who is the first to document its existence. It has also been written on extensively by <a class="wiki_link" href="/IgliashonJones">Igliashon Jones</a> in the paper "<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.cityoftheasleep.com/etc/5nEDOs.pdf" rel="nofollow">Five is Not an Odd Number</a>". For an in-depth treatment of harmony in 15-edo based on this temperament (and its 7- and 11-limit extensions), see <a class="wiki_link" href="/Harmony%20in%2015edo%20Blacksmith" target="_blank">Harmony in 15edo Blacksmith[10</a>].<br />

<br />
There are a variety of ways to notate 15-edo, and the choice of notation depends heavily which rank-2 temperament or MOS scale one wishes to treat as being the "main focus" of 15-edo composition.<br />
<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:12:<h2> --><h2 id="toc5"><a name="Notation-Blackwood Notation"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:12 -->Blackwood Notation</h2>
<ul><li><strong>Decimal Version:</strong> Using the nominals 1-0 (with 0 representing "10"), one of the three chains of 5-edo is represented by the odd numbers, the second by the even numbers, and the third by numbers with accidentals (either odd numbers with sharps, or even numbers with flats).</li><li><strong>Guitar Version:</strong> On a 15-edo guitar, because the "perfect fourth" comes from 5-edo, all of the open strings can be tuned a perfect fourth apart and still span exactly two octaves. If one starts the circle of fourths on B — B-E-A-D-G-(B) — then the open strings of the guitar can be notated as usual (E-A-D-G-B-E). However, because the circle of fourths closes at five, and does not continue to circulate through the other 10 notes of 15-edo, it is necessary to use accidentals to notate intervals on the other two chains of 5-edo. This notation is not particularly ideal as a basis for a staff notation (as it requires all non-5edo chords to be notated with accidentals). It is nevertheless useful because it reflects an intuitive approach to 15-edo on the guitar, since 5-edo provides a useful set of 3-limit landmarks (or "perfect fourths" and "perfect fifths") that can be used to navigate the fretboard. It's especially convenient for writing chord charts, where the funky accidental-laden spellings can be more or less ignored.</li></ul><br />

William Lynch proposes notating 15 EDO based on an eight nominal system using the old english letters: b c d ð e f þ æ as the alphabet.<br />
Porcupine[7] can also be notated by omitting "ð"<br />
<br />
The full alphabet with normal sharps and flats: b b# c c# d ð ð# e e# f f# þ þ# æ æ#<br />
alphabet with ups and downs: b b^ c c^ d ð ð^ e e^ f f^ þ þ^ æ æ^<br />
