For 2/1 all pure-octave tunings (eg EDOs) will be excellent. For any interval N/1 you can work it out by reading the absolute error from the Nth harmonic on the tables. For any interval L/M you can figure it out by reading the abs error of L and the abs error of M and then simply adding the two together. | For 2/1 all pure-octave tunings (eg EDOs) will be excellent.

Please make a wikitext table which shows how well every hyperconsonance, consonance, and ambisonance is approximated in every EDO from 1edo to 53edo, as well as showing each of their estimated number of dissonances.</pre> | Please make a wikitext table which shows how well every hyperconsonance, consonance, and ambisonance is approximated in every EDO from 1edo to 53edo, as well as showing each of their estimated number of dissonances.</pre> | ||
2nd prompt: | |||
<pre> Correct the numbers provided in the attached wikitext table (txt). | |||
Use the attached PDF to calculate the correct numbers. | |||
All the columns N/1 (eg 2/1, 3/1) are already correct. For the other columns, some cells are correct and some not. What you need to do is subtract the error (in cents (¢)) of the two harmonics involved, but don't disregard their direction. For example if harmonic 5 has +10¢ error and harmonic 3 has -9¢ error, then the total error of interval 5/3 is 19¢ (opposite errors add). If harmonic 5 has +10¢ error and harmonic 3 has +9¢ error, then the total error of interval 5/3 is 1¢ (same-direction errors subtract).</pre> | |||
