* [[harmony]] influenced by a theory of [[consonance]]

** more than one pitch sounding together & their distinctness blurring

** if pitch 'y' appears in the ~~overtone~~ series of pitch 'x', when pitch 'x' is sounding (on a harmonic instrument), pitch 'y' will also sound (although might not be identifiable as a distinct pitch) - so building a scale which contains both 'x' & 'y' is redundant

** if pitch 'y' appears in the harmonic series of pitch 'x', when pitch 'x' is sounding (on a harmonic instrument), pitch 'y' will also sound (although might not be identifiable as a distinct pitch) - so building a scale which contains both 'x' & 'y' is redundant

* [[octave equivalence]]

** B-flat considered equivalent to B-flat an octave higher...

Line 54:

** less redundant extensions: [[MOS Cradle]] or [[Second_Order_MOS|Second Order MOS]]

* matching tuning to timbre

** eg. rational intonation - selecting pitches which are copied in the [[~~overtone~~ series]] of other intervals

** eg. rational intonation - selecting pitches which are copied in the [[harmonic series]] of other intervals

** eg. Indonesian gamelan tuning - the scale is made to match the inharmonic pitches of the metals used in building the instruments

** octaves in the high range of a piano are routinely stretched to fit with the "distorted" sound of the high-tension strings

* matching timbre to tuning

** the reverse of the above: making a timbre (usually with a computer) to "match" a stipulated tuning
