De-emphasise wedgies
Clarify on mos scales. "Well supplied" doesn't catch the fact that most of them are improper
Line 1: Line 1:
The [[5-limit]] parent comma for the '''würschmidt family''' (würschmidt is sometimes spelled '''wuerschmidt''') is [[393216/390625]], known as Würschmidt's comma, and named after José Würschmidt, Its [[monzo]] is {{monzo| 17 1 -8 }}, and flipping that yields {{multival| 8 1 17 }} for the wedgie. This tells us the [[generator]] is a classic major third, and that to get to the interval class of fifths will require eight of these. In fact, (5/4)<sup>8</sup> × 393216/390625 = 6. 10\31, 11\34 or 21\65 are possible generators and other tunings include 96edo, 99edo and 164edo. Another tuning solution is to sharpen the major third by 1/8th of a Würschmidt comma, which is to say by 1.43 cents, and thereby achieve pure fifths; this is the [[minimax tuning]]. Würschmidt is well-supplied with MOS scales, with 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31 and 34 note [[MOS]] all possibilities.

[[MOS scale]]s of würschmidt are even more extreme than those of [[magic]]. [[Proper]] scales does not appear until 28, 31 or even 34 notes.


The second comma of the [[Normal lists #Normal interval list|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Würschmidt adds {{monzo| 12 3 -6 -1 }}, worschmidt adds 65625/65536 = {{monzo| -16 1 5 1 }}, whirrschmidt adds 4375/4374 = {{monzo| -1 -7 4 1 }} and hemiwürschmidt adds 6144/6125 = {{monzo| 11 1 -3 -2 }}.
