Talk:7/4: Difference between revisions

:: Even if the calculations of this program are right, as I'm sure they are, no program is incorruptible- because somewhere in the production chain, it's sourced from something made by fallible humans. Nevertheless, as I'm sure the calculations are right, I'll accept the remainder of your explanation. As to whether or not these tables are useful, I'd say they are ultimately only useful for the articles dealing with the prime harmonics and their octave compliments. That said, there needs to be an additional column added to the charts. Specifically we need to add the number of times the tempered interval in question can be stacked without the absolute error between the tempered stack and its just counterpart exceeding 3.5 cents, or half a step- whichever is smaller. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 21:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

::: I read ''half a step'' as 50% of 1\edo? Concerning the prime harmonics (their octave complements share the exact same table), is it actually that indisputable? I know the concept of [[consistency]] but I find it questionable already in cases like [[7/5]]: this interval can probably be used independently of the fact that it can be derived from [[7/4]] and [[5/4]]; another example is the great approximation of [[11/7]] in [[23edo]]. Whatever, would you say that tables would useful to you if there was this column with the amount of repetitions within the limit you described? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
