No. I was just illustrating how the adjective ''microtonal'' would be

schisma-equavalents of ratios of five and often some added ratios of elev=

to get approximate quarter tones, all used, however, only in melodic
intervals
greater that semitones.

While the source collection contains _microtones_, the sub-collections
actually used in real music do not. However, the intervals actually used
can be efficiently described as varying _microtonally_ from reference
intervals.

I don't want to drag this out any longer, but the word ''microtone'' =

clearly signifies something _small_, and to adopt a new definition that
is so broad as to erase this basic significance - indeed, to follow
Reinhard, to have no significance at all - is contrary to common sense,
and,
from the viewpoint of someone who would like to promote the use of a
variety of tunings, counterproductive. =
