Original Wikitext content:
David Ryan is a mathematician, music theorist and composer based in the UK. His main musical interest is working with and exploring [[Just Intonation]] (JI). He developed [[Rational Comma Notation (RCN)]] in order to provide a link between the mathematical domain of rational numbered frequencies and the musical domain of understanding music better through its notations. Although RCN is not the only [[Notation|notation]] system which exists for free-JI, it has some desirable properties: * being able to use traditional note names like in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation|Scientific Pitch Notation]], e.g. C4, G5, F#2, Bb7 * higher prime commas describe microtonal alterations, e.g. [5] [7] [257] * prime commas can be combined into a single rational comma for each notation, e.g. [35] = [5] * [7], [11/13] = [11]/[13] * it uses algorithms to assign all higher prime commas * RCN has a version for each algorithm (the author recommends a particular algorithm) **External Links:** [[https://soundcloud.com/daveryan23/tracks|Music Tracks]] on Sound Cloud [[https://arxiv.org/a/ryan_d_1.html|Music Theory paper pre-prints]] on arXiv [[https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4785-9766|Academic Profile]] at ORCID
