13edo: Difference between revisions

Line 434:

Seconds and thirds are similar in consonance to 12edo seconds and thirds, and similarly cothirds and coseconds are similar to diatonic sixths and sevenths.

Perfect fourths (21/16) are dissonant, but they work a lot like diatonic perfect fourths do e.g. in "sus24" chords that resolve down to thirds, and can also be spread out to make convincing 4:9:21 chords. Minor fifths (approximating 11/8) work like tritones and they like to resolve inward to a third. Major fifths (16/11) are the opposite: they like to resolve outward to a cothird. Unlike in 12edo, there is a major difference in quality between fourths and fifths, and their octave inversions. Perfect fourths and minor fifths~~, despite being dissonant,~~ can both be spread out to make them more consonant~~. Major fifths and perfect cofourths~~ cannot~~, hence they should normally not be used directly over the root~~.

The diminished fourth can work either like the diatonic diminished fourth, or (uniquely in 13edo) serve as an extra 5/4 in the scale and can be part of extra consonant chords (such as O-J-K-M, representing both 8:10:11:13 and 13:16:18:21, but it only represents 13:16:18:21 in other oneirotonic-supporting tunings such as [[31edo]]).
