It's an argument against: the farther in cents a tempered interval lies from a just interval, the less consonant ("worse") it is. 19/16 is farther from 6/5 than 300 cents, but I think it's more consonant than 300 cents. In any case, it's not "worse" than 300 cents. >>But there must be more-better examples. Maybe: the 12TET minor 7th is 18 >>cents flat of a 9/5, and 22 cents south of the 9/5 we have 16/9. >> >>You lost me. What are you trying to say/ask? After the aside on the nature of dissonance, I wanted to return to my original point to get some sense of closure, and so I offered a new example: 16/9 is more consonant than 1000 cents despite it being farther (in cents) from 9/5. >Schroeder's "Number Theory in Science and Communication" has been >mentioned recently in this forum, and I don't know if his more 'popular' >styled "Chaos, Fractals, Power Laws' has been mentioned. That book also >has some musical content and is not as terse (although Schroeder is >rarely terse). This book is also on its way.
