| '''Octave-reducing''' a fraction ''r'' means to make it fit into the range from 1 (the [[unison]]) to (excluding) 2 (the [[octave]]):
| | #redirect [[Octave reduction]] |
| | |
| <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size:150%">1 <= r < 2</span>
| |
| | |
| If ''r'' does not satisfy this inequality, it has to be
| |
| * multiplied by 2 while less than 1 or
| |
| * divided by 2 while greater than or equal to 2
| |
| | |
| == Examples ==
| |
| * 3/4 is less than 1, so multiply by 2 to get [[3/2]]
| |
| * 7/2 is greater than 2, so divide by 2 to get [[7/4]]
| |
| * 4/2 is greater than 2, so divide by 2 to get 2, which is equal to 2, so divide by 2 to get 1
