I don't see why (9/8 x 28/27) should be superior to (9/8 x 25/24). I don't think 76/64 is a crude interval or an approximation. It is a legitimate, nicely...
... The L, s method is most appropriate in the context of a meantone system. (L is equivalent to +2 steps in the chain of 5ths, s is equivalent to -5 steps;...

... Agreed Oz, that for 5-limit in maquam 75/64 turns out to be the better choice, but how about the lower embedding of 7/6 within the overtone-series: 1 : 2 :...
Dear Jacques, I find the proximity between certain lower prime limit and higher prime limit intervals always interesting: Take for instance 35/32 versus 12/11,...
A strange consonant quasi minor-major seventh chord arises from the scale given below. 11:13:16:20 This doesn't exist in the SCALA chords archive. Any...
Umm, I am not exactly concerned with the overtone series after 5/4 failed to be the correct equivalent of perde segah under many circumstances. Just as I find...
Hi Oz, These are some very high ratios. How do you come by these? By ear? Umm, I am not exactly concerned with the overtone series after 5/4 ... I wouldn't...
O Marcel, 16/9 should be in place of 9/5, because we want a "4:3" between that and 4/3. Your scale seems rigid enough, except: 1. There is an ugly 56:75 (506...
Hi Oz, O Marcel, ... Well if you're looking to use all fifths as pure fifths (and fourths as pure fourths) in your scale then you must be modulating. If you're...
Hi Joe, ... Very nice piece :) If I understand correctly you use the 75/64 in a minor triad aswell as 1/1 75/64 3/2? I like that minor triad too, as 8/5 15/8...
Marcel: your theory includes lots of extremely dissonant chords with comma-adjusted intervals, correct? Why do you not make use instead of comma-adjusted...
Have you tried the chord 882:1100:1323:2205 In Yarman-36c? The ratios are: 1/1 550/441 3/2 5/2 Tell me if what you hear is consonant or not. Now compare it...
Hi Mike, Marcel: your theory includes lots of extremely dissonant chords with ... I'm not prioritizing melodic consonance over harmonic consonance. I am...
Hi Oz, Have you tried the chord ... Well I'd prefer 1/1 5/4 3/2 5/2 by far :) 550/441 sounds like an out of tune 5/4 to me in the chord you just gave. But if I...
Dear Ozan, I am totally convinced of the complementarity of higher and lower primes, just like God is, who did not create high primes for nothing ! ; ) You...

13:16:20 (without 11) share many recurrent series , such as Iph (= 2/ Phi) : 55:68:84:104:128:160 (but 11 will make friends with 55, if not with 89 !) Now...

... Going by the JI scale alone, I find that the choice between 16/9 and 9/5 for the 7th depends on what note in the scale the chord is rooted on, since some...

Dear Jacques, I skipped 32/25 as a substitute for 9/7. 49/60 is another interval I neglected to mention that emulates 11/9. You have pointed out the latter. ...
I see that some new scale proposals decide on G = 1.5 = 3/2. Piagui scales also work with this value which was not selected when they were derived but was the...
To me 1.4966 and 1.5 sound essentially the same just by themselves. Perhaps the more important questions to me (about Piagui or any other scale somewhat...
