Talk:33/32: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

::: I've voiced this already – "meantone grammar" should be avoided for JI intervals. For example, will you think of 7/4 when I say "augmented sixth" without context? In fact, 7/4 is an augmented sixth in septimal meantone, but not in JI, so "augmented sixth" should be avoided as a name for 7/4. Likewise, "12edo grammar" and others of specific temperaments should also be avoided. That answers why diminished sixth isn't really a name for 3/2.

::: Another meantone-centrist mindset is to think chromatic semitone is smaller than diatonic semitone. A demonstration of this is 28/27 and 21/20 being called septimal chroma, despite that both are diatonic in both size and function.

:::: What do you mean by "meantone centrist"? The fact is that when you refer to "meantone", I invariably think of those temperaments where the syntonic comma is tempered out... Dare I point out that 16/15 only differs from the apotome by the schisma, and as far as I'm concerned, 16/15 is a diatonic semitone... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 11:22, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

:: Oh, and Flora, no offense taken. Sorry I didn't say so earlier... Perhaps once I get the musical function map finalized, we can look over it and see if you also think it is a good guide for organizing the interval names- you know, such as whether 33/32 is a prime or a second, or even both at once... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
