159edo/Interval names and harmonies
159edo contains all the intervals of 53edo, however, as some of the interpretations differ due 159edo having different mappings for certain primes, those differences show up in how harmonies are constructed. It should be noted that since 159edo does a better job of representing the 2.3.11 subgroup than 24edo, some of the chords listed on the page for 24edo interval names and harmonies carry over to this page, even though the exact sets of enharmonics differ between the two systems.
Step | Cents | 5 limit | 7 limit | 11 limit | 13 limit | 17 limit | Interval Names | Notes | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1/1 | P1 | Perfect Unison | D | The root of any chord. | ||||
1 | 7.5471698 | 225/224 | 243/242 | 196/195, 351/350 | 256/255 | R1 | Wide Prime | D/ | Useful for slight dissonances that convey something less than satisfactory, however it can also add to the bandwidth of a sound. | |
