This time, eliminating all PBs with torsion: The set of 11-limit superparticular unison vectors smaller than 20.7 cents (thus smaller than 17.6 cents) yields the following, taking 4 at a time: freq. determinant 1 1 1 9 1 11 1 29 1 49 1 51 1 60 1 62 1 64 1 65 1 79 1 82 1 91 1 96 1 144 3 20 3 23 3 24 3 37 3 48 3 50 3 68 3 80 3 99 3 126 8 10 8 18 8 54 11 4 13 58 14 45 17 15 17 53 19 7 19 19 20 38 21 12 21 26 24 41 34 14 40 22 40 46 41 27 45 8 46 34 63 72 188 31 So there are three that legitimately have 126 notes, three that legitimately have 24, and one with 144.

Message: 4801 Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 14:08:00 Subject: Searching for interesting 7-limit MOS scales From: Paul Erlich Let's try chromatic unison vectors between 100 cents and 35 cents, commatic unison vectors smaller than 35 cents but with numerator and denominator less than 3000, disallow torsion, and select unison vectors only from this list: S2357 * The roundup: freq. determinant 1 23 1 31 2 6 2 13 3 1 3 15 3 16 3 17 4 21 5 2 5 8 5 11 5 19 7 3 7 4 7 14 8 12 11 7 14 5 18 10 Most of the 10-tone scales correspond to the ones that carry my name in Scala (10-out-of-22); true for the 14-tone ones as well (14-out-of- 26). How can we try to eliminate "skewed" blocks from this list? Let's be crude and ignore the difference between a taxicab metric on the Kees van Prooijen lattice, and a Euclidean metric. So the "length" of a unison vector is log(numerator), while the volume the three subtend is simply the number of notes. A non-skewed block would have volume equal to the product of the three lengths. Define the "straightness" as the number of notes divided by this would-be volume. Here are the rankings by straightness: #1: 14 notes; commas 81:80, 50:49; chroma 25:24 (Erlich 14-of-~26) #2: 31 notes; commas 1029:1024, 245:243; chroma 25:24 (v. improper!) #3: 17 notes; commas 245:243, 64:63; chroma 25:24 #4: 19 notes; commas 126:125, 81:80; chroma 49:48 #5: 15 notes; commas 126:125, 64:63; chroma 28:27 #6: 21 notes; commas 1029:1024, 81:80; chroma 25:24 (not blackjack!) #7: 14 notes; commas 81:80, 50:49; chroma 49:48 (Erlich 14-of-~26) #8: 12 notes; commas 64:63, 50:49; chroma 36:35 (Erlich 12-of-22) #9: 19 notes; commas 225:224, 81:80; chroma 49:48 (19-out-of-31???) #10: 14 notes; commas 245:243, 50:49; chroma 25:24 #11: 12 notes; commas 81:80, 50:49; chroma 36:35 #12: 15 notes; commas 126:125, 64:63; chroma 49:48 #13: 10 notes; commas 64:63, 50:49; chroma 25:24 (Erlich 10-of-22) #14: 19 notes; commas 225:224, 126:125, chroma 49:48 #15: 10 notes; commas 64:63, 50:49; chroma 28:27 (Erlich 10-of-22) #16: 19 notes; commas 245:243, 126:125; chroma 49:48 #17: 23 notes; commas 2401:2400, 126:125; chroma 28:27 #18: 14 notes; commas 245:243, 81:80; chroma 25:24 #19: 16 notes; commas 245:243, 225:224; chroma 21:20 #20: 14 notes; commas 245:243, 50:49; chroma 49:48 #21: 12 notes; commas 126:125, 64:63; chroma 36:35 #22: 16 notes; commas 1029:1024, 50:49; chroma 36:35 #23: 19 notes; commas 245:243, 225:224; chroma 49:48 #24: 12 notes; commas 225:224, 50:49; chroma 36:35 #25: 10 notes; commas 64:63, 50:49; chroma 49:48 #26: 12 notes; commas 126:125, 81:80; chroma 36:35 #27: 21 notes; commas 1029:1024, 225:224; chroma 36:35 (Blackjack) #28: 12 notes; commas 225:224, 64:63; chroma 36:35 #29: 10 notes; commas 225:224, 50:49; chroma 25:24 (Erlich 10-of-22) #30: 17 notes; commas 2401:2400, 64:63; chroma 36:35 #31: 10 notes; commas 225:224, 50:49; chroma 28:27 (Erlich 10-of-22) #32: 12 notes; commas 225:224, 81:80; chroma 36:35 #33: 21 notes; commas 2401:2400, 225:224; chroma 36:35 (Blackjack) The list continues: Straightness # of notes numerators of commas numeratr'chroma 0.13869 17 2401 81 36 0.13792 10 225 64 25 0.1358 11 245 126 21 0.13323 10 225 64 28 0.1331 16 1029 126 36 0.12844 11 245 126 25 0.12784 12 225 126 36 0.1269 8 126 50 28 0.12127 10 225 50 49 0.11899 7 81 64 25 0.11489 15 1029 126 49 0.11449 10 1029 50 25 0.11407 10 225 64 49 0.11156 8 245 50 28 0.10854 21 1029 2401 36 0.10818 7 126 81 21 0.10769 10 1029 64 25 0.10517 14 2401 81 49 0.10373 8 245 50 36 0.10232 7 126 81 25 0.098844 7 126 81 28 0.098556 10 2401 50 28 0.096602 7 225 81 21 0.096174 11 1029 225 21 0.094692 10 1029 50 49 0.092706 10 2401 64 28 0.091573 6 245 50 21 0.09137 7 225 81 25 0.09111 13 245 2401 28 0.090237 8 245 126 28 0.089861 5 81 64 21 0.088262 7 225 81 28 0.087777 7 225 126 21 0.085705 11 2401 225 21 0.084721 13 245 2401 36 0.08401 14 245 2401 49 0.083909 8 245 126 36 0.083022 7 225 126 25 0.082103 5 81 64 28 0.080199 7 225 126 28 0.079376 10 2401 64 49 0.072627 6 1029 50 21 0.071026 7 2401 64 21 0.070297 5 81 64 49 0.069443 4 126 50 21 0.068396 10 1029 225 49 0.067934 5 245 81 21 0.066921 11 1029 2401 21 0.065681 4 126 50 25 0.065584 5 245 64 28 0.062069 5 245 81 28 0.060985 5 245 64 36 0.060951 10 2401 225 49 0.057716 5 245 81 36 0.05693 5 1029 64 21 0.056154 5 245 64 49 0.054324 4 126 50 49 0.048991 3 126 64 21 0.048367 5 1029 64 36 0.047592 10 1029 2401 49 0.046337 3 126 64 25 0.045775 5 1029 81 36 0.043148 4 2401 50 21 0.042149 5 1029 81 49 0.040377 2 64 50 21 0.038212 2 81 50 21 0.036658 4 2401 50 36 0.034913 2 81 50 28 0.033669 5 1029 245 49 0.03128 3 245 225 25 0.031004 2 225 50 21 0.030216 3 245 225 28 0.029652 4 2401 126 36 0.029164 2 225 64 21 0.028808 3 2401 81 21 0.028097 3 245 225 36 0.027303 4 2401 126 49 0.026321 3 2401 81 28 0.0097913 1 1029 126 21 0.0092609 1 1029 126 25 0.0076707 1 245 2401 21 This shows that in general, the PBs with a lower number of notes often tend to be more "skewed" and thus less interesting. But there seem to be lots of interesting new scales that are quite "straight"! Can someone please provide the generator, interval of repetition, mapping from generators to primes (3,5,7), and maximum 7-limit error, for at least the top 32 in the rankings, and preferably many more?

I uploaded all of these. The first list is a list of the four intervals used, and the second a list of the columns of the inverse matrix. If a number +-n appears on the list, then +-hn, the column vector consisting of n, round(n log_2(3)), round(n log_2(5)), round(n log_2(7)), is meant. If there is just a "v", it means it is not rounded off in this way, and the entire matrix is given in a compact form as a list of lists; the lists are horizontal but represent column vectors. There are vast numbers of blocks and tempered blocks which could be extracted from all of this, so it would be helpful to know what sort of thing people are looking for.

The two are the same if you take only the named 12 notes. I half remember looking at this before. The straight diaschismic mapping is simpler in the 5- and 9-limits. They're both as complex in the 7-limit, and the shrutar is simpler in the 11-limit, but not so far as to be a compelling 11-limit temperament. Graham

Oh yes, common factors in the left hand column are the definition of torsion. But I meant the clue for the period not being the octave. That's usually common factors in the second column, but not always. You can set 7:5 to be a unison vector with octave equivalent matrices, and the right mapping comes out, but no suggestion that the period is a half-octave. In the example above, all columns have a common factor of 2, so I divided through by it before checking for divisions of the octave. This is because of some inefficient unison vectors I have for the multiple-29 temperament that produce common factors of a power of 29 in all columns. Divide through by those common factors, and you get the right answer. It all depends on whether we take the adjoint matrix, or the inverse multiplied by the lowest common denominator. It now looks like the former, although I assumed the latter was simpler. I've tightened up the program so that it doesn't need this clue about the octave divisions. I also have better unison vectors for the multiple-29 case. I haven't studied the results in detail, but it's mostly working. <#!/usr/local/bin/python *> <Unison vectors *> <#!/usr/local/bin/python *> <[(-1, 2, 0), (-2, 0, -1), (-1, -2, 4)] *> I'm doing additional calculations without needing the chromatic unison vector. The problem is with octave equivalent matrices. It would be nice to do all the calculations with them. The rules are: 1) Form a matrix with the chromatic unison vector in the top row, and commatic unison vectors in the others. 2) The gcd of the left hand column of the adjoint is the number of equal divisions of the octave. 3) Divide through by this and you have the mapping by generators modulo the period. These work fine as long as the unison vectors are well behaved. It'd be nice if you could come up with a mathematical definition of this. But it looks like they really have to be approximate unisons, rather than approximate equal divisions of the octave (which don't work in the octave-specific case anyway). And it has to be possible to specify all consonant intervals as combinations of (commatic?) unison vectors. Once the mapping's chosen, it should be easy to find the ET for which the chromatic unison vector approximates to 0 steps, although I haven't worked out the algorithm for that yet. So, Paul's hypothesis can be made into a conjecture by saying "the above method always works". I'm fairly confident that it will this time. All we need is to convert it into mathematical language and prove it. Then we can try submitting a paper to Perspectives of New Music. Graham

Firstly, the unison vectors need to be linearly independent. Secondly, taking each column independently, it must be possible to combine the unison vectors to get any number you want in there. Getting any consonant interval isn't possible unless you have a 1 note periodicity block. But this condition should remove torsion. Graham

It's the same as the gcd you take here: """ (4) 14/12 = 7/6 = 1+1/6, and the convergent to 7/6 is 1. We therefore want A + B = 93.651 cents as our generator; this happens to be very close to 1200/13 = 92.308 cents; not much of a surprise since g+h12=h26 and gcd(12,14)=2.

""" GCD of 2, half octave period. > I don't see why you don't simply do what I do, and go for the whole > val, not just h(2). The number of divisions can be deceptive. Why don't I do what? I'm using octave equivalent matrices for the conjecture because one step using octave specific matrices involves solving what I think could be called a (very simple) system of Diophantine equations with only 1 unknown. Proving that that always works sounds harder than proving the octave-specific case. In fact, the number of notes in the periodicity block is the generator mapping of the chromatic unison vector. From the definition of the adjoint matrix, this will always be the same as the determinant. So we can ignore the determinant if we really want to. But the result we get is : The number of periods to the octave The mapping of generators to prime intervals The number of notes in the periodicity block Hopefully, we've defined away torsion. It'd be nice if we could get the number of steps to a generator in the equivalent ET.

It's not about the number of scale steps -- it's about the "skewness" of the block. Ultimately, this translates into greater errors with respect to the JI intervals -- which is what I really care about.

I suspect a necessary condition would have to distinguish between commatic and chromatic unison vectors. Does the Paul Theorem work for all the examples in my list?

OK -- when you said "sides 3, 5, and 7", I thought you meant lengths 3, 5, and 7. Sorry. Have you given any thought to the idea of a "canonical basis" for the case where all the unison vectors are chromatic, and the case where one is commatic? A lot of the measures we've come up here depend on the specific unison vectors we name as the basis, even though many other sets yield exactly the same temperament.

Your validity measure is equivalent to something I proposed a couple of years ago on the tuning list. If you're constructing the parallelepiped PB in JI (i.e. a hyper-MOS with no unison vectors tempered out), then the largest interval functioning as a unison, and directly affecting what notes do and do not appear in the block, should be smaller than the smallest step in the block. Clearly if that interval greater than 1/N octave, it can't be smaller than the smallest step. The largest interval functioning as a unison, etc., spans a diagonal of the block -- specifically that diagonal which is the result of adding the unison vectors when all are taken as ascending intervals. So in this case, we have 1029/1024 = 8.4327¢ 245/243 = 14.1905¢ 50/49 = 34.9756¢ sum = 57.5989¢ > 33.3333¢ HOWEVER, when you're tempering out unison vectors, this validity measure ceases to mean very much. For example, 12-tET can be defined using the minor diesis and the major diesis, but clearly fails the validity measure with respect to these unison vectors. So what? You see how a "canonical basis" might be useful. Now, 36-tET only showed up once in our list -- since we stuck to the smallest unison vectors for their lengths, we probably found the "canonical" basis for 36-tET, and it turned out invalid. OK. But ultimately I'd like to drop the restriction on taking unison vectors from Kees' list -- Herman Miller has made wonderful music using the maximal diesis (250:243) as a commatic unison vector!
