Paul, i think you might be confusing some of the posts i sent in today. some are about the Schoenberg 12-tone PB, which is definitely meant to be 12-edo with all unison-vectors tempered out, but others are about the duodene, which Ellis meant to be JI with nothing tempered out. -monz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

From: genewardsmith --- In tuning-math@y..., "monz" <joemonz@y...> wrote:> Gene, can you explain why your formula gave this > result instead of what i expected? Is there a > "correction factor" involved?My formula said to round to the nearest integer, but it didn't say what to do when two integers are equally near, which can happen when you have an even number of tones in an octave. The different rounding choices then lead to different blocks, which I think are equally correct. The proposal for defining blocks a while back involved defining a distance function designed to work with a particular block problem in mind. In this case, it would give ||q|| = max(|h12(q)|, |12 h7(q) - 7 h12(q)|, |12 h3(q) - 3 h12(q)| If you take everything at a distance of less than six from the unison usingthis measure, and transpose to the standard octave (instead of the octave from 2^(-1/2) to 2^(1/2)) you obtain the nine note scale 1--16/15--6/5--5/4--4/3--3/2--8/5--5/3--15/8 This is the core of the block, in every version of it. If you now take everything at a distance of exactly six from one, you get {10/9, 9/8, 25/18, 45/32, 64/45, 36/25, 16/9, 9/5}. To get a block, you addthree of these to the core of the block, in such a way that the diameter of the resulting block is less than twelve: the diameter being the maximum of all the distances between members of the block. You can therefore add 9/5, 9/8 and 45/32, getting what you expected, or 64/45, 16/9, 10/9, which amounts to the same thing. However, you could also add 36/25, 9/5 and 9/8, which you didn't expect, or 16/9, 10/9, and 25/18.

Also, u1/v1 is a step vector, and the matrix therefore is not just the kernel, but a set of generators for the kernel plus a step vector. "Unimodular adjoint" should just be "matrix inverse", and you should note that since u1/v1 is a step vector, the matrix is unimodular, and hence is invertible to an integral matrix.
