	Why do you prefer 77/64 over 6/5? Is it mainly used for melodic or harmonic reasons in your scales? --[[User:Userminusone\|Userminusone]] ([[User talk:Userminusone\|talk]]) 20:28, 13 March 2021 (UTC)		Why do you prefer 77/64 over 6/5?

			: It's more for harmonic reasons, especially the fact that the best tonal harmonies- at least in my thinking, have all their notes as either overtones or undertones of the tonic, while 6/5 doesn't meet that criteria. That said, since 6/5 is a harmonic entropy minimum, it pays to try and find a ratio that's close by, and 77/64 is one of the simpler among such ratios, not to mention that 77/64 has connections to both 7-based and 11-based harmony, which I seem to use a lot. --[[User:Aura\|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura\|talk]]) 21:40, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
