Question

Is there an easy way (program or simple formula) to find for instance:
6/5 of 7/6 or say 20/11 of 4/3? You know to create just scales where
you can transpose.\
Thanks

"of" means Multiply! 6/5 of 7/6 = 6/5 x 7/6 = 21/15.

this reduces to 7/5

It's just multiplication: 6/5 of 7/6 is (6/5 * 7/6) = (6*7/(5*6) = 42/30 =
7/5

Damn, that rithmetic you resisted learning in grade school DOES have a
pratical use, lol !

= 7/5

I'm just a novice in the world of microtonality so this question might
seem elementary. In my limited experience with different tunings I
find that my ear is more accurate in some tunings and less in others.
The unusual thing is that it is more accurate in, say, 31ET and less
in something like 20ET (which is perhaps less musical?). It seems like
my ear should be more accurate when I'm using tunings with less notes
and wider note spacing. If anyone can point me to information on pitch
perception that would be helpful. I'm trying to put together study on
how people hear microtonality in real musical contexts. I want the
focus to be primarily on listeners' objective perceptions. Perhaps a
novice shouldn't attempt this quite yet... If anyone knows of a study
like this it would be helpful for me to check it out. Is this a
legitimate place to post this question or should I be on the tuning
group? In any case I am currently MakeMicroMusic-ing quite often. I'll
post something sooner or later.

It has to do with the harmonic series. Your ear can quite easily hear
the jump by a perfect fifth, a major third, a minor third, etc., as
these intervals have their ultimate basis in being relationships
between tones in the series. 31-tet's notes are pretty close to the
harmonic series, particularly with the major third and the harmonic
seventh, so they'll be easier to jump to than 20-tet, which from my
memory deals with most "common" harmonic relationships really poorly.

You'll probably get 19-tet and 17-tet really well too, and probably 22-tet.
