Augmented triad: Difference between revisions

de-emphasize marvel and emphasize septimal meantone in the temperaments section, to make the connection with common-practice tunings clearer

m Mention the comma earlier in the paragraph about augmented temperament. This makes the paragraph more parallel to the septimal one, and also allows the reader to more easily understand the paragraph without already knowing what "augmented temperament" is.

In [[augmented (temperament)|augmented temperament]], the ~[[25/16]] augmented fifth is [[enharmonic equivalence|enharmonically equivalent]] to a minor sixth (~[[8/5]]), the difference of [[128/125]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]]. Since the resulting internal intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~8/5, the augmented triad in augmented temperament is a [[5-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]]:
