== A use for Sharptone? == | |||
Finally thought of a potential use for Sharptone beyond using it as a septimal extension for 5EDO and even sharper tunings: Since the 12EDO approximation of 7/4 starts out sharp, and since the most common guitars (and related instruments) in the Western world are fretted for 12EDO, and since pitch bending on such instruments needs to be upwards, Sharptone gives you a way to play notes that have a septimal numerator by playing the next note down and bending it up to the right values. Of course, for notes that have the 7 in the numerator, you wouldn't want to use Sharptone, because then you would have to bend the pitch down; however, at least in jazz and blues having the 7 in the numerator relative to the root note seems to be the most common septimal interval.
