Hemififths/Chords

Revision as of 04:04, 17 December 2024 by TallKite (talk | contribs) (added C as the chord root)

Below are listed the dyadic chords of 11-limit hemififths temperament. The essentially just chords are typed as otonal, utonal, or ambitonal. Those requiring tempering only by 540/539 are swetismic, by 441/440 werckismic, by 896/891 pentacircle, by 243/242 rastmic, and by 1344/1331 hemimin. Those requiring tempering by any two of 540/539, 441/440 or 243/242 are labeled jove. Those requiring both 441/440 and 896/891 are labeled pele. Those requiring any two of 243/242, 896/891 or 1344/1331 are labeled parahemif. If the full hemififths is required because of the tempering out of three independent hemififths commas, the chord is labeled "hemififths".

A striking feature of these hemififths chords is that essentially just chords tend to be of higher complexity than essentially tempered chords. Hemififths has MOS of size 7, 10, 17 and 24, and even seven notes are well-supplied with chords, mostly but by no means entirely essentially tempered chords. Extending consideration to the 13-limit adds even more such chords.

Chords are named with ups and downs, using pergen #4 (P8, P5/2) in the notation guide for rank-2 pergens. One up is 7 generators, which is a half-sharp. The tilde ~ means mid, half-way between major and minor. ~4 = ^4 = vA4 and ~5 = v5 = ^d5. The comma (the actual punctuation mark) is pronounced "add", thus C~,7 is "C mid add 7". To facilitate chord naming, lifts and drops are also used. One lift is -17 generators, a half-diminished 2nd. Enharmonic equivalences: vvA1 and v\m2. Cents: ^1 = 50¢ + 3.5c and /1 = 50¢ - 8.5c, where c = the amount in cents the tempered fifth exceeds 700¢. /1 = ~81/80 = ~64/63 and ^1 = ~33/32. To convert to 41edo, ^1 = 2\41 and /1 = 1\41.
