I'm working with a friend on a software for guitar and I need a list of the intervals in 12-ET from the more consonant to more dissonant. With "consonant" I mean beatless, empty. So I've tried to do my own list based only upon my ear: octave P5 P4 6M 3M 3m 6m 7m 4+ 2M 7M 2m This list is istinctive but I'd like to have a more scientific justification if possible. Anyone can help me? Maybe with a mathematic law on beating and interval spacing (spacing: 10M is more consonant than 3M). Ciao. -Lorenzo Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 07:19 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA04533; Thu, 31 Oct 1996 07:19:45 +0100 Received: from eartha.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA03566 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id WAA06862; Wed, 30 Oct 1996 22:19:38 -0800 Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 22:19:38 -0800 Message-Id: <32784558.6113@cavehill.dnet.co.uk> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
