epimoric bisection 81:80=(441:440)(99:98) was Re: Werckmeister's "Septanarius"

--- In tuning@yahoogroups.com, Margo Schulter <mschulter@> wrote:

Dear Margo,

Werckmeister's so called
11-limit "septenarian" 99:98 Comma amounts (81:80):(441:440)
11-limit "septenarian" 441:440 Schisma amounts (81:80):(99:98)
if understood that ratios as epimoric bisection of the SC=81:80.

the following well-tuning uses that as epimoric bi-scetion:

F 440:441 G = F 881:882 C 880:881 G inbetween F-C-G

and the trisection
inbetween the violin empty strings G-D-A-E consisting in

G 98:99 E = G 276:279 E subdivided into 3 epimoric factors:

G 296:297 D 295:296 A 296:297 E

and respectively for the schisma B 32768:32805 F within

E 3968:3969 B F# C# G# 2510:2511 Eb 3764:3765 Bb 4704:4705 F

into 4 another superparticular ratios
in order to conclude the cycle of 5ths by
the totally amount of an PC=3^12/2^19.


meanwhile my good-old piano got tuned in that refinement :

F 881:882 C 880:881 G 296:297 D 295:296 A 296:297 E

with the interim product inbetween FCGDAE = 80:81 = SC and

E 3968:3969 B F# C# G# 2510:2511 Eb 3764:3765 Bb 4704:4705 F

for yielding the Schisma=2^15/5/3^8=32768:32805.

that's expanded:

attend the modifications from here on:
G#; 887G#5 := C#4*3
Eb; 1255Eb6 2510Eb7 (< 2511 := G#5*3)
Bb; (F2:3=29.4 .. F6:3=470.4<)470.5Bb4 941Bb5 1882Bb6 (3765:=Eb6*3)

attend the exact JI haltone E 16:15 F that is
shifteted 882:881 upwards versus the unison 1:1,
because the 4th F-C and the 3rd C-E
turn out to be the same 882:881 sharper than JI.

Quests:
Who in that group here dares to try that on his/hers own instrument?
Are there any proposals in order to improve even that once more again?

Yours Sincerely
A.S.
