"classic" misleading
To me it seems we'd better name it "just major third". The word "classic" is so closely related to Classical music that it suggests 4\12 or some meantone variant. --Xenwolf (talk) 09:55, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- We could instead add one ore more of: "octave-reduced 5th harmonic", "harmonic third", "natural third" ... --Xenwolf (talk) 09:58, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Dave Keenan used "classic" to refer to 5-limit as opposed to "Pythgorean", though he did say it may be omitted for the simplest ratio in the class. I see it reasonable.
- Suppose we change this to "just major third", what about 8/5, 5/3, 6/5, 16/15, 25/24 and others? FloraC (talk) 10:18, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
