The '''2.5.7 subgroup''', or the '''no-threes 7-limit''' ('''yaza nowa''' in [[color notation]]) is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where 2, 5, and 7 are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, | The '''2.5.7 subgroup''', or the '''no-threes 7-limit''' ('''yaza nowa''' in [[color notation]]) is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where 2, 5, and 7 are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 5, and 7. This is an infinite set and still infinite even if we restrict consideration to a single octave. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[5/4]], [[7/4]], [[8/7]], [[7/5]], [[28/25]], [[35/32]], and so on. | ||
The 2.5.7 subgroup is a retraction of the [[7-limit]], obtained by removing prime 3. Its simplest expansion is the [[2.5.7.11 subgroup]], which adds prime 11. | The 2.5.7 subgroup is a retraction of the [[7-limit]], obtained by removing prime 3.
