Talk:Classic: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

:: For my part, I'm forced to say that there are multiple pental major thirds and multiple pental minor thirds. For example, both 5/4 and 164025/131072 are pental major thirds since both are 5-limit. As far as I'm concerned, "pental" by itself could refer to either of these, and "classic" by itself could easily be used to refer to 3-limit intervals just as easily as 5-limit intervals. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 00:53, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

::: I agree with Xenwolf that ''pental'' is approaching a different problem. The term ''classic major third'' refers only to one thing: 5/4, while I agree you could use ''pental'' for anything you want (the examples you give are obvious reasonable choices). ''Classic'' is used as part of several popular, established names for intervals. For an example, please consider the page [[chromatic semitone]]. The entire point of this article is to document how "classic" is understood in this domain to ''not'' refer to 3-limit intervals or anything other than 5-limit. I made this page exactly because that fact is not obvious from the word itself. I only recently learned that fact myself, and I wanted to document it for the benefit of others. If you agree with this purpose, Aura, I suggest you revert your edit and document your thoughts on ''pental'' elsewhere (feel free to link there from here, though, because that would certainly be useful). --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 15:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
