From: PAULE Steven, thanks for your comments. >By taking the ii as a diminished triad, everything fell >nicely into place. This is something I never thought of. Which diminished triad, exactly, sounded nice here? (I know you already told me in e-mail; just thought the rest would like to know). What is interesting here is that in your solution with the diminished triad, you circumvent the comma shift by moving one voice a chromatic semitone -- but both the comma and the chromatic semitone are represented by 54.5 cents! >I presume it was more tolerable because >the commas were only half as large as in the 22TET rendition. Can >anyone offer an explanation for this? Sounds like a good explanation to me. 21.5 cent shifts can happen a lot with real instruments.
