Alpharabian tuning: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''Alpharabian tuning''' is an [[11-limit]] version of [[just intonation]]- specifically the version that is limited to the 2.3.11 subgroup. Although the core of Alpharabian tuning consists of those intervals with ratios involving integers whose only prime factors are 2 and 11, Alpharabian tuning can also contain powers of three in their ratios. That said, within Alpharabian tuning, there's a distinction between "Alpharabian" and "Betarabian" intervals, with "Alpharabian" intervals generally being simpler and or nearer to ~~either~~ 3-limit intervals ~~or the 2.11 core subgroup~~ than the nearby "Betarabian" intervals, which often differ from their Alpharabian counterparts by a [[243/242|rastma]]. There are other distinctions as well, but a proper descriptor for these other intervals has yet to be chosen.
