This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

This revision was by author xenwolf and made on 2010-06-06 17:12:15 UTC.
The original revision id was 147266335.
The revision comment was: the inverse isn't so interesting...

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

An interval given by its logarhithmic size measure (like [[cent]]s or amount of edo-atoms) has an infinite list of //nearest just intervals//

==Example==
The 600-cent interval (6 steps of [[12edo]], "Tritone") approximates following ratios:

|| **freq. ratio** || **log([[Tenney Height]])** || **size** in cents || **"error"** in cents ||
|| ... || ... || ... || ... ||
||= 3 / 2 ||= 2.585 ||= 701.96 ||= 101.96 ||
||= 7 / 5 ||= 5.129 ||= 582.51 ||= 17.49 ||
||= 17 / 12 ||= 7.672 ||= 603.00 ||= 3.000 ||
|| ... || ... || ... || ... ||
