It is not especially good at representing most low-integer musical intervals, but it has a 7/4 which is six cents sharp, and a 5/4 which is eleven cents flat. Four steps of it gives the 300 cent minor third interval identical to that of 12-edo, giving it four diminished seventh chords exactly like those of 12-edo, and a diminished triad on each scale step. [[user:Andrew_Heathwaite|1281203319]] adds: If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (19/16, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad. The interval between the 28th & 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's "narrow fifth". example on Goldsmith board: [[image:http://www.ronsword.com/161928%20copy.jpg width="158" height="92"]] =Hexadecaphonic Octave Theory= The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat "blown fifth" of 675 cents means it works as a mavila temperament tuning. For a 16-edo version of Indonesian music, four small steps of 225 cents and one large one of 300 cents gives a [[MOSScales|MOS]] version of the Slendro scale, and five small steps of 150 cents with two large ones of 225 steps a Pelog-like MOS. The temperament could be popular for its easy manageability of 150 cent intervals 3/4, 9/4 and 21/4-tones. The 25 cent difference in the steps can have a similar effect the [[scales of Olympos have]] with buried enharmonic genera. 16-edo can be treated as four interwoven diminished seventh arpeggios, or as two interwoven 8-edo scales (narrow 11-limit whole tones which when stacked produce traditional 300 cent minor third intervals). There are two minor seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13, a 7/4 ratio approximation, off by 3.5879 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh. The septimal can be the 9/4th tone or septimal semi diminished fourth (35/27 ratio) , semi-augmented fifth (54/35), harmonic seventh (7/4), and septimal whole tone 8/7. The Undecimal intervals are the 3/4 tone or undecimal neutral second (12/11), and the 21/4th tone or undecimal neutral seventh (11/6). Another xenharmonic aspect of 16-tone is how the 11-limit whole tone scale, using the neutral second, interlocks with the diminished scale, similar to the augmented scale and whole tone relationship in 12-tone (the whole tone divides the major third in 12, in 16-its the minor third). In 16-tone, because of the 25 cent difference in the steps from 100 in 12-tone, a western "twelve tone ear" hears dissonance with more complexity and less familiarity than even 24-tone, yet within a more manageable number of tones and a strange familiarity - the diminished family - making 16-edo is a truly xenharmonic system. In 16-edo diatonic scales are dissonant because of the 25 cent raised superfourth in conjunction with the 25 cent subtracted fifth / poor 3/2 approximation. The septimal semi diminished fourth can be more desirable. Perhaps using Moment of Symmetry Scales an alternative temperament families like the "Anti-Diatonic" Mavila (which reverses step sizes of diatonic), Diminished, Happy, Rice, Grumpy, Mosh, Magic, Lemba, Cynder, and Decatonic can be more interesting and suitable: Diminished family of scales (1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3, 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2) Magic family of scales (1 4 1 4 1 4 1, 1 3 1 1 3 1 1 1 3 1, 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1) Cynder family (3 3 4 3 3, 3 3 1 3 3 3, 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1) Lemba family (3 2 3 3 2 3, 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2) About Mavila Paul Erlich writes, "Like the conventional 12-tet diatonic and pentatonic (meantone) scales, these arise from tempering out a unison vector from Fokker periodicity blocks.

For composing in Armodue it's useful using a **tetragram** (staff with 4 lines) [[image:http://www.armodue.com/TETR-[1].jpg caption="copyright Armodue, used with permission"]] In a musical piece, for which esecution, if we need to write on two o more tetragrams, the notes will be written in the same way for every tetragram. In other words, the "1" note will be written immediately under the first line __in every tenth__. In Armodue we have only a numeric clef, that show us the tenth: [[image:http://www.armodue.com/Chiave.gif caption="copyright Armodue, used with permission"]] The clefs 1,2,3... refers to the tenths: first, second, third... So, in the illustrated example above, first tetragram (from top) refers to the 3rd tenth (central tenth, corresponding at equivalent octave C3-C4), the second tetragram to the 5th tenth and the third to the 2nd. If we need to write simultaneously on several staves, we will draws normal braces. The keyboard conceived by Armodue authors has the same disposition of the Goldsmith's one (except the curvature): [[image:http://www.armodue.com/Tastiera.jpg caption="copyright Armodue, used by permission"]] =External theory links= [[http://www.armodue.com/ricerche.htm|Armodue]]: Italian pages of theory for 16-tone (esadekaphonic) system, including compositions - translation, anyone?
