Canopus

Jump to: navigation, search

Canopus is the rank two 3.5.7 temperament tempering out 16875/16807. Having a generator of ~7:5, it possesses non-trivial MOS of the families 1L 2s (triad), 3L 1s (tetrad), 3L 4s ("neutral" diatonic) and 3L 7s (augmented neutral decatonic). On either side the greater region where it appears, there appear the most important, though as yet unnamed, tritave-equivalent temperaments which retain twos, they being important for using a (smeary) ~4:3 or 3:2 as a generator.

The Sigma and Anti-Sigma (Mu) MOS families of 8L+3s and 3L+8s (unfair) or 4L+7s and 7L+4s (fair), but especially the unfair families which by definition include an interval for the function of an "ordinary" ~2:1, are good scales to know for the conceptualizations they provide of how an "ordinary" diatonic or anti-diatonic scale extends into a tritave equivalence (8L+3s being in fact the Obikhod pitch set used in Russian Orthodox chants). These scales are neighbors of the 7&3 region where the 3L+7s Canopus decatonic scale appears. Below is a list of equal temperaments which contain these scales using generators between or 475.5 and 713.2 cents:

As the table shows, the two families overlap at several equal temperaments within the first sixteen proper members of each tree due to the fact that the chain of ~4:3s forms an index-2 subtemperament of a chain of ~3:2s under tritave equivalence. Beyond that, the unfair Sigma and Mu scales match the EDO-EDT correspondences due to their definition including an interval with the function of an "ordinary" ~2:1 which can nevertheless be off by up to +68.0 cents and the fair scales compare to 5a+2b edos in a completely backwards way, with 7L+4s actually comparing to the anti-diatonic scale but being contained in the larger edts. This backward way that the fair scales compare to edos creates an interesting coincidence between 27edt and 27edo both as generated by an ~4:3.
