Criterion for a Marvelous intervals

Maybe the addition to the marvel category was wrong. How can we decide which intervals belong into Category:Marvel? --Xenwolf (talk) 13:51, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm personally thinking that "marvelous intervals" are indeed those that differ from 3-limit and 5-limit. Where the resulting 7-limit interval is something like 7/4 or 8/7, that is a different story, and furthermore, we should remember that marvelous intervals always have a second function, and that function should be acknowledged. After all, there's a reason I call 7/4 a "Varicant"- it simultaneously acts as both a subminor seventh and a type of sixth, with the former behavior being consistent with the nature of its relation to both 4/3 and 3/2, and the latter behavior being consistent with the nature of its relation to both 5/4 and 11/8. I don't know how good this idea is, but I suspect that it's a start. --Aura (talk) 14:22, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
