This paper talks about many of the same things as my paper and things
I've been posting here in response to Joseph. Everyone here should
read it.

Kelley's ideal V7 is interesting; he ideally wants it to be 1-5/4-3/2-
25/14, which makes the 7th 1003.8, 3.8 cents sharper than 12-et.
Paul's favorite 9/5 is 17.6 cents sharper, 16/9 is 3.9 cents flatter,
and (smooth, man, smooth) 7/4 is 31.2 cents flatter. One
interpretation of what Kelly is doing here is that in effect, he is
going with meantone; 2/(25/14) = 28/25, and if this is taken to be a
tone of meantone, then the corresponding fifth is 2 sqrt(15)/5, a
698.1 meantone fifth, about 2/11-comma meantone, where we might
recall that 12-et is 1/11 comma.

His ideal or at least "cleanest compromise" diminished seventh is the
1-6/5-10/7-12/7 chord. He suggests this be reduced to the 5-limit as
1-6/5-64/45-128/75, which is equivalent in marvel (225/224-planar.)
He also suggests 1-6/5-7/5-9/5 could be reduced to the 5 limit as
1-32/27-64/45-16/9, which would involve 81/80 and 64/63, or in other
words the dominant temperament. He regards 1-6/5-36/25-9/5 as being a
more or less equivalent reduction, which under dominant it is,
involving 36/35, though you could get here just using 36/35-planar,
or bumping all the way up to 12-et.

If I were Joseph, I'd ignore the V7 stuff in there for now . . .

> 25/14,

Well, this *is* very close to the dominant seventh chord in (huygens)
meantone, since a diminished fifth comes out as 10:7 there, and 5/4 *
10:7 = 25/14.

But really it's the parts of this paper that concern cylinders and
tori, and commas like 648:625 and the pythagorean comma
(531441:524288), that I wanted Joseph to look at . . .

Monz should take note that what Kelley is doing here and elsewhere
involves xenharmonic bridges. In fact, he could chart enharmonicism
on a just intonation tonnetz easily and consistently if he would just
pick a single xenharmonic bridge and stick with it. That means,
bridge using 36/35, 64/63, 126/125 or 225/224, but not all of them;
it seems clear however he has 12-equal on the brain, which is not
surprising considering the kind of music he is analyzing.

In case anyone wants to play this game, in 12-et you have xenharmonic
bridges to the 7-limit of 36/35, 64/63, 126/125, 225/224, and
5120/5103. If you were to analyze music in another et, you'd end up
with a different assortment of bridges; Paul for instance could
analyze music in the vast literature (which should exist, but alas
does not) in 22-et using 64/63, 875/864, 225/224, and 65625/645536.

I doubt I'd use that last one, as it's -3958 cents :)

the "standard" 1/4-comma meantone "minor-7th" is
~1006.843143 cents.

its close relative, the 31edo "minor-7th", is
~1006.451613 (exactly 1006 & 14/31) cents.

the 55edo "minor-7th" is 2^(46/55) and
~1003.636364 (exactly 1003 & 7/11) cents, which
is indeed very close to Kelly's "minor-7th".

55edo's close relative 1/6-comma meantone offers
~1003.258761 cents.

i knew right away that 55edo would be right nearby,
because 55edo does a great job of emulating 2/11-comma meantone.

remember back in January 2002 when all of these ratios
kept coming up as unison-vectors in my analysis of
Schoenberg's theory?

/tuning-math/message/2798

12-equal on the brain for sure.

There are an infinite number of arbitarily small xenharmonic bridges
you *could* use for 22-equal, but sadly, this isn't one of them.
Still, 65625/65536 might do ya.
