Ooop, it looks like I once again performed that "common mistake" I suspected Pat M. of doing: Sending a reply "to sender only" when I intended to go to the whole list. Here's that message: --------------------------------------------------------- > 88CET does not have a good approximation to 6:5; do you mean 352 cents? That's a logical question. That portion of the demo was rendered in JI, not in 88CET. I was motivating 88CET's nontraditional thirds in the traditional way: by its JI approximations. The general gist is: * Here's a traditional diminished triad (play 6:5 stack). * Here's another way to tune that - more or less - same chord (play 5:6:7 chord). Notice that it's less dischordant. * That upper interval is one of 88CET's nontraditional thirds. * The gap left between that subminor third and the fifth (9:7) is another one of 88CET's nontraditional thirds. * And it also has neutral third that splits the fifth right down the middle.
