I can, but I'm not sure how much, if any, of that will be new.

I could send you some Maple code I've written for various things if you have access to Maple.

Hmm, this doesn't seem right; the diamond pitches aren't very regular at all. IIRC they get thicker and thicker as they approach the identity, but then there's a gap before hitting it. -Carl

right, but the uniformity would happen no matter what you used. another appealing possibility, important in the whole version of this discussion that we were having before with kalle, is 49:48, which exchanges 7/4 <-> 12/7, 7/6 <-> 8/7, and in particular those systems where 50:49 is one of the commatic unison vectors, such that the chromatic unison vector can also be expressed as 25:24, leading to 6/5 <-> 5/4 and 8/5 <-> 5/3.

What strikes me as more interesting than that is 21/20, leading to 10/7<-->3/2, 8/7<-->6/5, 5/3<-->7/4, 12/7<-->9/5, 10/9<-->7/6 and which can covert a tetrad into an ass. I think I'll tackle it next.

This is the first 21/20 chroma scale I've looked at, and it's a beaut,
fully justifying my interest in 21/20. While Rothenberg might not
approve of it, check out the masses of asses, and note that the single
"wolf" third hardly deserves the name.

Subject: An example of 25/24 chroma

From: Gene Ward Smith

If we were to be completely systematic, the place to have begun this
investigation would have been the 5-limit and 25/24 as a chroma; as
Paul pointed out, the locus classicus for all of this is 81/80 as a
comma, 25/24 as a chroma, leading to 81/80[7], better known as the
diatonic scale. There are other possibilities, some known and some
completely unknown. I give an example in the latter category.

It should be noted when examining these that these are accurate

with an error of 0.383 cents, might be considered in the

It's nothing to worry about; n^2/(n^2-1) are commas between 9/8,8/7,7/6,6/5,5/4 etc. whereas Triangle(n)/(Triangle(n-1)) are commas between 3/2,5/3,7/4,9/5 etc. These are the ones which are going to turn up in this business, but it doesn't particularly help to know that. If we know that 15/14, 16/15, 21/20, 25/24, 28/27, 36/35, 45/44, 49/48 are worth checking, it doesn't add much to say that all of the numerators are eithers squares or triangles.

Subject: Circle of fifths for amity[21]

From: Gene Ward Smith

Paul suggested looking at the circle of fifths for these things might
be of interest, and since amity[21] has exactly three times the notes
of meantone[7], this seems like a good place to start. You can see the
funny effect a direct translation of diatonic music to amity[21] would
apparently have; it might be worth a listen.

Yes; I'm afraid all I meant is that h34^h46 (standard vals) will give the wedgie.

Subject: Rule of 36

From: Gene Ward Smith

Here is a curiosity--25/24 is very nearly three Pythagorean commas,
the difference being the monzizma, a microcomma. Hence a temperament
with pure or almost pure fifths as generator, which closes or nearly
closes
around a circle of N fifths, will have a "wolf" fifth about 25/24
sharp, making an augmented triad [1,5/4,25/16], for a temperament a
multiple of N-36 notes, and one about 25/24 flat, making a diminised
"wolf" triad [1,6/5,36/25], for a temperament a multiple of N+36
notes. The multiple aspect arises since the temperament may not have
octave period. Taking the continued fraction for log2(3/2), we get
41-36=5, leading to diaschismic, 53-36=17, leading to schismic,
41+36=77 and
53+36=89 note scales; then 306+-36, 665+-36 and so on.

especially if you look though 7-limit glasses :) :) there is evidence that the original 10 pitches implied by the ancient indian music treatises formed a 10-tone diaschsimic scale, though the diaschsima was probably only used to "average out" 16/15 and 135/128, the rest of the scale remaining just. see my paper.

Very true--did I put something up about diaschismic[10] in the 7-limit yet?

Whether they did so or not, it's a very nice system with a stamp of approval from the Rule of 36, in case that helps.

part of "glassic" is in porcupine. you can hear the consecutive triads -- major, major, minor, minor -- as the root descends stepwise from "8ve" to "5th". thus part of you wants to believe it's mixolydian, but melodically it's singing quite a different tune.
