5L 3s: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

The [[TAMNAMS]] system suggests the name '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') or 'oneiro' for short. The name ''oneirotonic'' (from Greek ''oneiros'' 'dream') is coined after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos.

'Father' is sometimes also used to denote 5L 3s, but it's a misnomer, as [[father]] is technically an abstract [[regular temperament]] (although a very inaccurate one), not a generator range. There are father tunings which generate 3L 5s. A more correct name would be 'father[8]' or 'father octatonic'. "Father" is also vague regarding the number of notes, because optimal generators for it also generate [[3L 2s]].
