There are multiple paradiatonic functions hiding in these regions, though only two of them are really connected to the Tonic itself through stacking a combination 11/8 and 3/2 intervals. | ||
'''Supercommatic''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals from about 3.5 cents to roughly 20 cents above the Tonic. These intervals are little more than stepping stones in modulation, and extra intervals that can be used together with the Tonic for a sense of dissonance, or for a slightly less resolved version of a Unison or Octave. | '''Supercommatic''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals from about 3.5 cents to roughly 20 cents above the Tonic.
