Dicot family: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The [[5-limit]] parent [[comma]] for the dicot family is 25/24, the [[chromatic_semitone|chromatic semitone]]. Its [[monzo]] is |-3 -1 2>, and flipping that yields <<2 1 -3|| for the [[wedgie]]. This tells us the generator is a third (major and minor mean the same thing), and that two thirds gives a fifth. In fact, (5/4)^2 = 3/2 * 25/24. Possible tunings for dicot are [[7edo]], [[24edo]] using the val <24 38 55| (24c) and [[31edo]] using the val <31 49 71| (31c). In a sense, what dicot is all about is using neutral thirds and pretending that's 5-limit, and like any temperament which seems to involve pretending, dicot is at the edge of what can sensibly be called a temperament at all.
