Alpha types flatten the smaller interval and sharpen the larger; Beta types do the reverse; Gamma types | Alpha types flatten the smaller interval and sharpen the larger; Beta types do the reverse; Gamma types also sharpen the smaller and flatten the larger. | ||
The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma types bring their interval pairs increasingly close to just intonation. <math>n</math> also brings the interval pairs increasingly near to pure. | The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma types bring their interval pairs increasingly close to just intonation. <math>n</math> also brings the interval pairs increasingly near to pure. | ||
