5L 4s: Difference between revisions

The familiar harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern is [[Meantone_family#Godzilla|godzilla]], in which a generator is [[8/7|8/7]] or [[7/6|7/6]] (tempered to be the same interval, or even 37/32 if you like) so two of them make a [[4/3|4/3]]. However, in addition to godzilla (tempering out 81/80) and the 2.3.7 temperament [[Chromatic_pairs#semaphore|semaphore]], there is also a weird scale called "[[Pseudo-semaphore|pseudo-semaphore]]", in which two different flavors of [[3/2|3/2]] exist in the same scale: an octave minus two generators makes a sharp 3/2, and two octaves minus seven generators makes a flat 3/2.

There are not really good temperament interpretations for 5L 4s scales except for semaphore or godzilla (and even [[semaphore]] is debatable as a temperament), but 5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:

There are not really good temperament interpretations for 5L 4s scales except for semaphore or godzilla (and even [[semaphore]] is debatable as a temperament because it is so inaccurate), but 5L 4s tunings can be divided into two major ranges:

# [[Semaphore]] generated by semifourths flatter than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a diatonic fifth.

# [[Bug]] generated bu semifourths sharper than 3\14 (257.14¢). This implies a "[[mavila]]" or superdiatonic fifth.
