	: It's more for harmonic reasons, especially the fact that the scales with 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 either of those criteria when used as an interval between the Tonic and another note in the scale. 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, especially since it turns out that harmony based on 11/8 and 16/11 is hugely underrated. --[[User:Aura\|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura\|talk]]) 21:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)		: It's more for harmonic reasons, especially the fact that the scales with 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 either of those criteria when used as an interval between the Tonic and another note in the scale.

	: I should mention, however, that while I think I've presented what are probably the best tunings for Ionian, and Lydian, I'm more open to changing the tunings for Dorian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian- provided that the new tunings not only demonstrate Rothenberg propriety, but still have all notes in the scale as either harmonics or subharmonics of the Tonic. --[[User:Aura\|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura\|talk]]) 21:51, 13 March 2021 (UTC)		: I should mention, however, that while I think I've presented what are probably the best tunings for Ionian and Lydian, I'm more open to changing the tunings for Dorian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian- provided that the new tunings not only demonstrate Rothenberg propriety, but still have all notes in the scale as either harmonics or subharmonics of the Tonic. --[[User:Aura\|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura\|talk]]) 21:51, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
