Revision as of 21:27, 29 January 2022
159edo contains all the intervals of 53edo, however, as some of the interpretations differ due 159edo having different mappings for certain primes, those differences show up in how harmonies are constructed. It should be noted that since 159edo does a better job of representing the 2.3.11 subgroup than 24edo, some of the chords listed on the page for 24edo interval names and harmonies carry over to this page, even though the exact sets of enharmonics differ between the two systems.

| 15 | 113.2075472 | 16/15 | ? | ? | ? | ? | Km2, A1 | Ptolemaic Minor Second, Pythagorean Augmented Prime | D#, Eb↑ | This interval...
|
| 16 | 120.7547170 | 15/14 | 275/256 | ? | ? | RKm2, kn2, RA1 | Wide Minor Second, Artoretromean Augmented Prime | Ed<↓, Eb↑/, D#/ | In addition to being the approximation of the Septimal Major Semitone, this interval is also one third of a Lesser Submajor Third in this system, and is thus used accordingly. | |
| 17 | 128.3018868 | ? | ? | 14/13 | 128/119 | kN2, rKA1 | Lesser Supraminor Second, Tendoretromean Augmented Prime | Ed>↓, D#↑\ | In addition to its properties as a type of supraminor second, this interval is also one third of a Ptolemaic Major Third in this system and is thus used accordingly. | |
| 18 | 135.8490566 | 27/25 | ? | ? | 13/12 | ? | KKm2, rn2, KA1 | Greater Supraminor Second, Diptolemaic Limma, Retroptolemaic Augmented Prime | Ed<\, Eb↑↑, D#↑ | This interval is not only both two thirds of Pythagorean Major Second and the approximation of the Large Limma or Diptolemaic Limma in this system, but also a type of supraminor second, and is thus used accordingly. |
| 19 | 143.3962264 | ? | 88/81 | ? | ? | n2, SA1, kUA1 | Artoneutral Second, Lesser Super-Augmented Prime | Ed<, Dt#<↓ | As one of two neutral seconds in this system, this interval is notable for being half of the approximation of the Neo-Gothic Minor Third, though it is also sometimes used in much the same way as 24edo's own Neutral Second. | |
| 20 | 150.9433962 | ? | 12/11 | ? | ? | N2, RkUA1 | Tendoneutral Second, Greater Super-Augmented Prime | Ed>, Dt#>↓ | As one of two neutral seconds in this system, this interval is the one that most closely resembles the low-complexity JI neutral second, and thus, it is frequently used in much the same way as 24edo's own Neutral Second. | |
| 21 | 158.4905660 | ? | ? | ? | 128/117 | 561/512, 1024/935 | kkM2, RN2, rUA1 | Lesser Submajor Second, Diretroptolemaic Augmented Prime | Ed>/, E↓↓, Dt#>↓/, D#↑↑ | In addition to being a type of Submajor Second and the closest approximation of the 31edo Middle Second found in this system, two of these add up to the approximation of the Ptolemaic Minor Third. |
| 22 | 166.0377358 | ? | 11/10 | ? | ? | Kn2, UA1 | Greater Submajor Second, Ultra-Augmented Prime | Ed<↑, Dt#<, Fb↓/ | In addition to its properties as the interval that most closely resembles the Undecimal Submajor Second, this interval serves as both the Ultra-Augmented Prime and as one third of a Perfect Fourth, and is used accordingly. | |
| 23 | 173.5849057 | 567/512 | 243/220 | ? | 425/384 | rkM2, KN2 | Narrow Major Second | Ed>↑, E↓\, Dt#>, Fb\ | While this interval is large enough to act as a type of whole tone, it is worth noting that two of these add up to the approximation of the low-complexity JI Neutral Third in this system. | |
| 24 | 181.1320755 | 10/9 | ? | 256/231 | ? | ? | kM2 | Ptolemaic Major Second | E↓, Fb | As the approximation of the Ptolemaic Major Second, this interval is used accordingly, though it is worth noting that in this system, two of these add up to the approximation of the thirteenth subharmonic; furthermore, it is also one the intervals in this system that are essential in executing any sort of variation on Jacob Collier's "Four Magical chords" from his rendition of "In the Bleak Midwinter". |
| 25 | 188.6792458 | ? | ? | 143/128 | 512/459 | RkM2 | Artomean Major Second | E↓/, Fb/ | This interval has surprising utility in modulating to keys that are not found on the same circle of fifths owing to both its size and its ease of access through octave-reducing stacks of approximated low-complexity JI intervals. | |
| 26 | 196.2264151 | 28/25 | 121/108 | ? | ? | rM2 | Tendomean Major Second | E\, Fb↑\ | In addition to being the closest approximation of the 31edo Major Second found in this system, it is one of two intervals that come the closest to approximating the 12edo Major Second found in this system. | |
| 27 | 203.7735849 | 9/8 | ? | ? | ? | ? | M2 | Pythagorean Major Second | E, Fb↑ | This interval is the standard-issue whole tone in this system as it is one of two intervals that come the closest to approximating the 12edo Major Second, and the only one of the two that actually approximates the Pythagorean Major Second; furthermore, it is the whole tone that is used as a reference interval in diatonic-and-chromatic-style interval logic in this system as it pertains to both semitones and quartertones. |
| 28 | 211.3207547 | ? | ? | 44/39 | 289/256 | RM2 | Wide Major Second | E/, Fd<↓ | This interval is interesting on the basis that it is formed by stacking two instances of the octave-reduced approximation of the seventeenth harmonic. | |
| 29 | 218.8679245 | ? | ? | ? | 17/15 | rKM2 | Narrow Supermajor Second | E↑\, Fd>↓ | This interval is interesting not only because it is utilized in approximations of the 17-odd-limit, but also because it is the whole tone found in this system's Superpyth scale, and is of such quality that two of these add up to this system's approximation of the Septimal Supermajor Third. | |
| 30 | 226.4150943 | 256/225 | ? | 154/135 | ? | ? | KM2 | Lesser Supermajor Second | E↑, Fd<\, Fb↑↑, Dx | This interval can be interpreted as a type of second on the basis of it approximating the sum of the syntonic comma and the Pythagorean Major Second; it also appears in approximations of 5-limit Neapolitan scales as the interval formed from stacking two Ptolemaic Minor Seconds, making it double as a type of diminished third, and is likely the smallest interval in this system that can be used in chords without causing crowding. |
| 31 | 233.9622642 | 8/7 | 55/48 | ? | ? | SM2, kUM2 | Greater Supermajor Second, Narrow Inframinor Third | Fd<, Et<↓, E↑/ | As the approximation of the octave-reduced seventh subharmonic- that is, the Septimal Supermajor Second- this interval is used accordingly; in fact, since three of these add up to a Perfect Fifth in this system, there are multiple ways this interval can be used in chords to great effect. | |
| 32 | 241.5094340 | ? | 1024/891 | ? | ? | um3, RkUM2 | Inframinor Third, Wide Supermajor Second | Fd>, Et>↓ | The 11-limit ratio this interval approximates is the namesake of 24edo's own Inframinor Third; however, in a higher-fidelity system such as this, one will notice that this is a syntactic third that sounds more like a second. | |
| 33 | 249.0566038 | ? | ? | ? | 15/13 | ? | kkm3, KKM2, Rum3, rUM2 | Wide Inframinor Third, Narrow Ultramajor Second, Semifourth | Fd>/, Et<\, F↓↓, E↑↑ | This interval is particularly likely to be used as a cross between an Ultramajor Second and an Inframinor Third; furthermore, as the name "Semifourth" suggests, this interval is one half of a Perfect Fourth, and used in exactly the same way as 24edo's own Semifourth, right down to the low-complexity 13-limit interpretation. |
| 34 | 256.6037736 | ? | 297/256 | ? | ? | UM2, rKum3 | Ultramajor Second, Narrow Subminor Third | Et<, Fd<↑ | The 11-limit ratio this interval approximates is the namesake of 24edo's own Ultramajor Second; however, in a higher-fidelity system such as this, one will notice that this is a syntactic second that sounds more like a third. | |
| 35 | 264.1509434 | 7/6 | 64/55 | ? | ? | sm3, Kum3 | Lesser Subminor Third, Wide Ultramajor Second | Et>, Fd>↑, F↓\ | As the approximation of the Septimal Subminor Third, those who are not already familiar with septimal harmony will find this interval useful in forming not only strident-sounding triads framed by the Perfect Fifth, but also other, ambisonant triads framed by the Perfect Fourth; in addition, three of these add up to the Pythagorean Minor Sixth. | |
| 36 | 271.6981132 | 75/64 | ? | ? | ? | ? | km3 | Greater Subminor Third | F↓, Et>/, E#↓↓, Gbb | This interval is useful for evoking the feel of 31edo due to approximating that system's Subminor Third, and even approximates the result of subtracting a syntonic comma from a Pythagorean Minor Third; however, it most frequently appears in approximations of 5-limit Harmonic scales as the interval between the Ptolemaic Minor Sixth and the Ptolemaic Major Seventh, making it double as a type of augmented second. |
| 37 | 279.2452830 | ? | ? | ? | 20/17 | Rkm3 | Wide Subminor Third | F↓/, Et<↑ | This interval is utilized in approximations of the 17-odd-limit, courtesy of acting as the fourth complement to the Narrow Supermajor Second; it is also good for evoking the feel of 17edo due to approximating that system's Minor Third. | |
| 38 | 286.7924528 | ? | 33/28 | 13/11 | 85/72 | rm3 | Narrow Minor Third | F\, Et>↑ | This interval is of particular interest because it is the approximation of the Neo-Gothic Minor Third and is used accordingly; what's more, this interval and the approximation of the Neo-Gothic Major Third add up to make the Perfect Fifth in this system. | |
| 39 | 294.3396226 | 32/27 | ? | ? | ? | ? | m3 | Pythagorean Minor Third | F | This interval approximates the Pythagorean Minor Third, and since this system does not temper out the syntonic comma, this interval- in contrast to the Ptolemaic Minor Third- is very useful as an interpretation of the dissonant Minor Third from Medieval music's florid organum, and can thus be used in creating a subtle instability in certain Diatonic harmonies. |
| 40 | 301.8867925 | 25/21 | 144/121 | ? | ? | Rm3 | Artomean Minor Third | F/ | This interval is the closest approximation of the 12edo Minor Third found in this system, and, conveniently enough, it is easily accessed by stacking instances of this system's approximation of the low-complexity JI neutral second. | |
| 41 | 309.4339622 | ? | ? | 512/429 | 153/128 | rKm3 | Tendomean Minor Third | F↑\ | In addition to being the closest approximation of the 31edo Minor Third found in this system, this interval is also half of this system's approximation of the Greater Septimal Tritone and is thus used accordingly as part of a triad. | |
| 42 | 316.9811321 | 6/5 | ? | 77/64 | ? | ? | Km3 | Ptolemaic Minor Third | F↑, E# | As the approximation of the Ptolemaic Minor Third- that is, the traditional 5-limit minor third- this interval is one of four imperfect consonances in this system, and, unsurprisingly, is thus used accordingly; however, one should also note that this interval can be reached by stacking three of this system's approximation of the octave-reduced seventeenth harmonic. |
| 43 | 324.5283019 | 135/112 | ? | ? | 512/425 | RKm3, kn3 | Wide Minor Third | Ft<↓, F↑/, Gdb< | The main thing of note concerning this interval is that two of these add up to this system's approximation of the Paraminor Fifth, thus facilitating the formation of strange-sounding triads | |
| 44 | 332.0754717 | ? | 40/33, 121/100 | ? | 144/119, 165/136 | kN3, ud4 | Lesser Supraminor Third, Infra-Diminished Fourth | Ft>↓, Gdb> | This interval is mainly of interest due to the fact that it's exactly twice the size of it's fourth complement- the approximation of the Undecimal Submajor Second- and its interesting properties as a type of supraminor third. | |
| 45 | 339.6226415 | ? | ? | ? | 39/32 | 17/14 | KKm3, rn3, Rud4 | Greater Supraminor Third, Diretroptolemaic Diminished Fourth | Ft<\, F↑↑, Gdb<↑\, Gb↓↓ | This interval is of interest because not only does it have 13-limit interpretations, but it also has usage as a 17-odd-limit interval, and all while being easily reached by stacking three Ptolemaic Minor Seconds. |
| 46 | 347.1698113 | ? | 11/9 | ? | ? | n3, rKud4 | Artoneutral Third, Lesser Sub-Diminished Fourth | Ft<, Gdb<↑ | As one of two neutral thirds in this system, this interval is the one that most closely resembles the low-complexity JI neutral third, and thus, it is frequently used in much the same way as 24edo's own Neutral Third; on top of that, it can be stacked in interesting ways in this system. | |
| 47 | 354.7169811 | ? | 27/22 | ? | ? | N3, sd4, Kud4 | Tendoneutral Third, Greater Sub-Diminished Fourth | Ft>, Gdb>↑ | As one of two neutral seconds in this system, this interval is notable for being one half of a possible generator for this system's superpyth scale. | |
| 48 | 362.2641509 | ? | ? | ? | 16/13 | 21/17 | kkM3, RN3, kd4 | Lesser Submajor Third, Retroptolemaic Diminished Fourth | Ft>/, F#↓↓, Gb↓ | As both the approximation of the octave-reduced thirteenth subharmonic, and ostensibly one of the easiest 13-limit thirds to utilize in chords framed by some type of sharp wolf fifth, this interval is used accordingly. |
| 49 | 369.8113208 | ? | ? | ? | 68/55 | Kn3, Rkd4 | Greater Submajor Third, Artoretromean Diminished Fourth | Ft<↑, Gb↓/ | In addition to its properties as a type of submajor third, this interval is also one third of a Pythagorean Major Seventh in this system and is thus used accordingly. | |
| 50 | 377.3584906 | 56/45 | 1024/825 | ? | ? | rkM3, KN3, rd4 | Narrow Major Third, Tendoretromean Diminished Fourth | Ft>↑, F#↓\, Gb\ | The main thing of note concerning this interval is that two of these add up to this system's approximation of the Paramajor Fifth, thus facilitating the formation of strange-sounding triads. | |
| 51 | 384.9056604 | 5/4 | ? | 96/77 | ? | ? | kM3, d4 | Ptolemaic Major Third, Pythagorean Diminished Fourth | Gb, F#↓ | This interval is none other than the approximation of the octave-reduced fifth harmonic- that is, the traditional 5-limit major third- and thus, it one of four imperfect consonances in this system, and, unsurprisingly, is used accordingly; however, this interval is also the approximation of the Pythagorean Diminished Fourth in this system, which sometimes leads to interesting enharmonic substitutions when building chords for purposes of voice-leading. |
| 52 | 392.4528302 | ? | ? | ? | 64/51 | RkM3, Rd4 | Artomean Major Third, Artomean Diminished Fourth | Gb/, F#↓/ | As this interval is situated between the Ptolemaic Major Third on one hand and the familiar major third of 12edo on the other, this interval can easily be used in modulatory maneuvers similar to those performed by Jacob Collier. | |
| 53 | 400 | 63/50 | 121/96 | ? | ? | rM3, rKd4 | Tendomean Major Third, Tendomean Diminished Fourth | F#\, Gb↑\ | As none other than the familiar major third of 12edo, this interval is useful for creating the familiar augmented triads of 12edo, performing modulatory maneuvers based around said triads, and evoking the feel of 12edo in other ways. | |
| 54 | 407.5471698 | 81/64 | ? | ? | ? | ? | M3, Kd4 | Pythagorean Major Third, Ptolemaic Diminished Fourth | F#, Gb↑ | This interval approximates the Pythagorean Major Third, and, since this system does not temper out the syntonic comma, this interval- in contrast to the Ptolemaic Major Third- is very useful as an interpretation of the dissonant Major Third from Medieval music's florid organum, and can thus be used in creating a subtle instability in certain Diatonic harmonies, though it's also useful in building oddly-charming augmented triads. |
| 55 | 415.0943396 | ? | 14/11 | 33/26 | 108/85 | RM3, kUd4 | Wide Major Third, Lesser Super-Diminished Fourth | F#/, Gd<↓, Gb↑/ | This interval is of particular interest because it is the approximation of the Neo-Gothic Major Third and is used accordingly; what's more, this interval has additional applications in Paradiatonic harmony, particularly when such harmony is found in what is otherwise the traditional Diatonic context of a Major key. | |
| 56 | 422.6415094 | ? | ? | 143/112 | 51/40 | rKM3, RkUd4 | Narrow Supermajor Third, Greater Super-Diminished Fourth | F#↑\, Gd>↓ | This interval is useful for evoking the feel of 31edo due to approximating that system's Supermajor Third, and is even better for evoking the feel of 17edo due to approximating that system's Major Third. | |
| 57 | 430.1886792 | 32/25 | ? | ? | ? | ? | KM3, rUd4, KKd4 | Lesser Supermajor Third, Diptolemaic Diminished Fourth | F#↑, Gd<\, Gb↑↑ | This interval is easily very useful due to it being a consistent approximation of the Classic Diminished Fourth; despite its dissonance- or perhaps even because of said dissonance- this interval is even useful when it comes to building chords. |
| 58 | 437.7358491 | 9/7 | 165/128 | ? | ? | SM3, kUM3, rm4, Ud4 | Greater Supermajor Third, Ultra-Diminished Fourth | Gd<, F#↑/ | This interval is the approximation of the Septimal Supermajor Third and is directly on this system's Superpyth scale as well; those who are not already familiar with septimal harmony will find this interval useful in forming not only strident-sounding triads framed by the Perfect Fifth, but also different types of augmented and superaugmented triad. | |
| 59 | 445.2830189 | ? | 128/99 | ? | 22/17 | m4, RkUM3 | Paraminor Fourth, Wide Supermajor Third | Gd>, Ft#>↓ | Although this interval is not found on the Paradiatonic scale, it is nevertheless important for usage in Parachromatic gestures and in various types of harmony based on such gestures; it is the namesake of 24edo's own Paraminor Fourth interval, and, just like that interval, it tends to want to be followed up by either the Unison, the Perfect Fourth, or, its Paramajor counterpart- the latter having additional follow-up options. | |
