Template:Sharpness-0/doc

Revision as of 02:06, 3 May 2026 by Dave Keenan (talk | contribs) (Added Template:Sharpness-0a to the See Also.)

This template is used for 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 equal divisions of the octave. Since these tunings temper out the 3-limit augmented unison (2187/2048, known as the Pythagorean apotome), going up seven fifths brings one back to the root note, and as such the traditional sharps and flats are redundant and cannot raise or lower the pitch.
This symbol set is based on ups and downs notation and comprises naturals with arrows from Helmholtz–Ellis notation.
