Augmented triad: Difference between revisions
Saying meantone is a good tuning of marvel is a stretch. Explicitly link to marvel chords. |
de-emphasize marvel and emphasize septimal meantone in the temperaments section, to make the connection with common-practice tunings clearer |

If [[225/224]] is tempered out, as in [[marvel]] and [[septimal meantone]], the ~25/16 augmented fifth is tempered together with ~[[14/9]]. The resulting intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~14/9, making the augmented triad a [[9-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chord (→ [[Marvel chords]]). | |||
