Projection pair: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A '''projection pair''' is a pair of two rational intervals which can be employed by the [[Scala]] "project" command to reduce a JI scale to a scale in a [[JI subgroup]] of the group generated by the scale, in such a way that tempered versions of each are equivalent. This is particularly useful for analyzing [[planar temperament]]s, as the projection can then be viewed in lattice form by Scala's "lattice" or "lattice and player" command.

An example of a projection pair is "7 225/32", which when applied by Scala's "project" to a 7-limit scale produces a 5-limit scale, which when tempered by marvel (225/224) temperament gives exactly the same result as the original scale does when also tempered. More than one such pair may be required to reduce to the desired subgroup; for instance "7 225/32, 11 4096/375" reduces an 11-limit JI scale to a 5-limit JI scale equivalent under (undecimal) marvel. This can happen even when only one comma is involved (codimension one temperaments). For instance, to project a 7-limit scale in the hemimean (3136/3125) reduction to the 2.5.7 subgroup requires "5 3136/625, 7 68841472/9765625".

This can be thought of as marvel temperament replacing 7 by 225/32.

Many projection pairs are given on the pages for various planar temperaments. When no subgroup is indicated, the default 2.3.5 5-limit subgroup is presumed. These lists of pairs can be copied and pasted into Scala and applied to any suitable JI scale.
