Original Wikitext content:
[[toc]] =Five limit magic= The 5-limit parent comma for the magic family is 3125/3072, the small diesis or magic comma. Its monzo is |-10 -1 5>, and flipping that yields <<5 1 -10|| for the wedgie. This tells us the generator is a major third, and that to get to the interval class of fifths will require five of these. In fact, (5/4)^5 = 3 * 3125/3072. 13/41 is a highly recommendable generator, though 19/60 also makes sense and using [[19edo]] or [[22edo]] is always possible. [[Comma]]: 3125/3072 5-limit minimax [<1 0 0|, <0 1 0|, <2 1/5 0|] [[Eigenmonzo|Eigenmonzos]]: 2, 3 Algebraic generator: Terzbirat, the positive root of 9x^2-8x-4 = (4+2*sqrt(13))/9; approximately 380.3175 [[Cent|cents]]. Map: [<1 0 2|, <0 5 1|] [[Generator|Generators]]: 2, 5/4 [[Edo|Edos]]: [[6edo|6]], [[16edo|16]], [[19edo|19]], [[22edo|22]], [[41edo|41]], [[60edo|60]] ==Seven limit children== The second comma of the [[Normal lists|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. 875/864, the keemic comma, gives magic, and 525/512, Avicenna's enharmonic diesis, gives his annoying brother muggles. Both use the major third as a generator. =Magic= Magic tempers out not only 3125/3072 and 875/864, but also 225/224, 245/243, and 10976/10935. [[41edo]] is a good magic tuning, and 19 or 22 note MOS are possible scales. Five major thirds approximate 3/1. Twelve major thirds, less an octave, approximate 7/1. Magic, with its accurate fifths, works well with 9-limit harmony. It's more accurate than meantone and simpler than garibaldi. It's a little tricky to work with because in it fifths are a relatively complex interval and it doesn't naturally work with scales of around seven notes to the octave. Its wedgie is <<5 1 12 -10 5 25||. By adding 100/99 to the list of commas, magic can be extended to an 11-limit version, <<5 1 12 -8 ... ||. For this, [[104edo]] provides an excellent tuning, as it does also for the rank three temperaments tempering out 100/99 with 225/224, 245/243 or 875/864. Septimage (see below) is also an excellent 11-limit magic tuning.
