We say that is the score of a "step" is equal to 1/(min_cents + | We say that is the score of a "step" is equal to 1/(min_cents + (the motion's error in cents)) * badness_penalty**(the complexity of the motion) / critical_divisor. We then say that the score of a "path" is equal to the product of the scores of the steps. The score of a temperament is equal to the sum of the scores of all paths that reach the original interval times those path lengths. The goodness of a temperament is the critical_divisor necessary to get a score of 2. (This also works for scales without JI interpretations; we assign a JI interpretation to each pair of notes and compute the goodness of the best assignment.) |
