Revision as of 14:33, 9 June 2022 by Eliora (talk | contribs) (Theory)

Highly melodic equal division is a division with either superabundant or highly composite number of pitches per equivalence interval.

Theory

The defining characteristics of highly melodic equal divisions are the following:

  • The EDx contains the largest count of notes in symmetrical chords, and correspondingly, in uniform equave-repeating scales, relative to its size.
  • The EDx has the largest amount of modes of limited transposition relative to its size.
  • The EDx has the largest amount of rank-2 temperaments whose period is a fraction of the equave, relative to its size.
  • By the virtue of point 1, the EDx has the largest amount of familiar scales relative to its size
