Subject: Chains of fifths and notation

From: Gene Ward Smith

Basing notation schemes which encompass successivly higher prime
limits on a Pythagorean chain-of-fifth (or fourths, etc) method is a
necessity, since we start from the 3-limit. To go to the 5-limit, we
need to add a comma of the form 2^a 3^b 5^c where c = +-1. If a monzo
[a,b,c] gives rise to a temperament with octave period, then the
generator mapping will be +-[0, c, -b], and since c=+-1 once again we
are back with 3/2, 4/3 etc as generator--a Pythagorean system. Looking
at the 5-limit commas, we find really only five reasonable choices,
and so five types of notation systems possible for the higher prime
limits as well.

16/15 fourth-third systems

135/128 pelogic systems

81/80 meantone systems

32805/32768 schismic systems

2954312706550833698643/2951479051793528258560
[-69, 45, -1] counterschismic systems

To go to 7-limit systems, we want 7-limit commas for which the
exponent of 7 is +-1, and so forth. Some 7-limit possibilities are:

36/35, 525/512, 64/63, 875/864, 126/125, 225/224, 5120/5103, 
65625/65536, 4375/4374

Aside from 33/32, some 11-limit possibilities include:

77/75, 45/44, 55/54, 56/55, 99/98, 100/99, 176/175, 896/891, 
385/384, 441/440, 1375/1372, 6250/6237, 540/539, 5632/5625,
131072/130977, 40283203125/40282095616, 6576668672/6576582375,
781258401/781250000, 13841287201/13841203200

Note that while insuring that the count of p-limit commas depends only
on the exponent for p is a nice property, it is hardly essential. I
think there are advantages, for instance, in using in place of
81/80, 64/63, and 33/32, the commas 5120/5103 and 385/384; they are
related by

64/63 = 81/80 5120/5103

33/32 = 81/80 64/63 385/384

In these terms, my example of 77/75 becomes D double flat, up three
81/80 and a 385/384.

Gene, FYI Dave and I have the following 11-limit commas notated 
*exactly* with single flags in sagittal:

'|  for 32768:32805 (5-schisma)
 |( for 5103:5120
/|  for 80:81
 |) for 63:64
 |\ for 54:55
(|  for 45056:45927

as well as the following notated *exactly* with two flags:

)|( for 16384:16473
~|) for 48:49
(|( for 44:45
//| for 6400:6561
/|) for 35:36
/|\ for 32:33
(|) for 704:729
(|\ for 8192:8505^

and a bunch of others notated *exactly* in high-precision sagittal 
(using the 5-schisma) such as:

./|  for 2025:2048
.//| for 125:128
'(|\ for 27:28

We can extend this classification scheme by using planar temperaments
for higher prime limits as well. The wedgie for <81/80, 64/63> is [1,
4, -2, 4, -6, -16], so this goes under the "Dominant Seventh" rubric.
However, <81/80, 36/35> and <81/80, 5120/5103> are equally D7 systems,
giving the same wedgie, and very closely related to using 64/63 to
notate. We pass to the 11-limit by adding 33/32; however the same
wedgie is obtainable by adding 55/54 or 385/384, so any of the nine
systems <81/80, {36/35,64/63,5120/5103}, {33/32,55/54,385/384}> is
equally well an 11-limit D7 notation scheme.

Another very logical system falling under the general Meantone heading
is Septimal Meantone; here to 81/80 we add 126/125, 225/224 or
3136/3125. If now for the 11-limit we add 99/98, 176/175, 441/440,
1375/1372 or 5632/5625, we get 11-limit Meantone; if instead we add
385/384 or 540/549 we get Meanpop systems.

George tells us that each of 36/35, 64/63 and 5120/5103 is sagittally
symbolized, and so is 55/54 (but not 385/384,) so D7 systems are
pretty well covered. So far as Septimal Meantone goes, none of
126/125, 225/224 or 3136/3125 seems to have a symbol, nor do 99/98,
176/174, 441/440, 1375/1372, 5632/5625, 385/384 or 540/539. A symbol
for 385/384 and one for either of 126/125 or 225/224 and either of
99/98 or 176/175 would be nice if other 81/80 systems were to be included.

If we insist on having commas of the form 2^a 3^b p^{+-1}, we don't
get anything as nice as we have for D7 systems:

11-limit meantone
[81/80, 59049/57344, 387420489/369098752]

meanpop
[81/80, 59049/57344, 17537553/16777216]

Awesome!  Sorry I can't help check it.

How'd you get this html?  'd be nice to have a database
with column-sort.  If you're doing this in Excel, you can
export as a CSV file, which Yahoo's database thingy can
then import (I assume that's how you did the 5-limit
database?).

Oh, and where are the TM-reduced bases?

So I've picked a few to check, and got the same results.
Only one very slight difference in the RMS error of meantone,
you have 4.217731 and I got 4.217730, but for the rest they
were exactly the same.

>no, they're 5-limit linear temperaments, and 2 minus 1 equals 1.

Yes, I was temporarily confused.

Now I checked more and found a few more differences in RMS values.
I'm beginning to worry about my square root routine. Could someone
else verify, for example for counterschismic, is the RMS error
0.026391 as Paul gives or 0.026394? Gene, Graham?
Thanks,

Yes, my RMS routine was much wronger, but I've fixed that now.  I get 
4.217730 cents for meantone and 0.026394 for this 53&306 thing.

Some of these will be exactly symbolised in the final system, using
accented symbols, it's just that they have not yet been finalised to
the satisfaction of both George and I, and at present we're devoting
our time to the article explaining the basic (unaccented) system.

It's highly probable that each of the following will be the primary
meaning of some accented sagittal symbol.

385/384
126/125
225/224
99/98

But the following are very unlikely to be primary symbol
interpretations, because there are other more popular (usually less
complex) kommas which are very close to them (typically within 0.4 c).
In that case you can simply use the symbol for that nearby komma and
explain somewhere that that's what you are doing (assuming you don't
also need that symbol for its primary purpose, which is fairly
unlikely). We refer to this as using a symbol in a secondary role.

176/175
3136/3125
441/440
1375/1372
5632/5625
540/539

I'm afraid I don't know. I just specified certain combinations of
generators to approximate certain 23-limit ratios (which were
themselves commas, but were not being tempered out) and solved
numerically for the generators. If you're still interested, maybe
there's some other information I could give you if you wanted to work
them out. But it may have to wait some time.

Subject: [5-11]-prime-space p-block and 13edo

From: monz

playing around with my software, i noticed that
13edo, which does not have anything resembling a
3:2 "perfect-5th", gives a not-really-horrible 
approximation of 5:4 (just a little worse than
that of 12edo, but in the opposite direction),
and a very good approximation of 11:8 :

2^(4/13) = ~369.2307692 cents, ~17.08294463 less than 5:4

2^(6/13) = ~553.8461538 cents, ~2.528211481 more than 11:8



so i set up a prime-space consisting of the
euler-genus 5^(-1...+5) * 11^(-2...+3) .


and found these two unison-vectors:


  ~cents   [2,5,11]-monzo   ratio

56.30525686 [  0  3 -2]    125/121  

26.58125482 [-15  2  3]  33275/32768 


... and voila, out popped 13edo.


the 13-tone JI periodicity-block given by these
unison-vectors is shown on this lattice:

1/1 is the reference note, the unison-vectors
are shown by "X", and notes not included in the
periodicity-block are shown as "()"

i'd be interested in any feedback anyone has
on this.

I will add this scale to the archive.

Speaking of lattices, I have improved the lattice player
in Scala. Now it will also display nonrational intervals,
so one can use it for the "bingocard" type.
Go to Analyse:Lattice and player, click the 2D play button,
tick the "Nearest in emtpy positions" checkbox and set an
amount of rows and columns.
