  2. Meantone temperament - Wikipedia

    For example, to make a 12 note chromatic scale in Pythagorean tuning close at the octave, one of the fifth intervals must be lowered ("out-of-tune") by the Pythagorean comma; this altered fifth is called a "wolf fifth" because it sounds similar to a fifth in its interval size and seems like an out-of-tune fifth, but is actually a diminished ...

    Werckmeister temperaments are the tuning systems described by Andreas Werckmeister in his writings.

  5. Musical tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning

    A Pythagorean tuning is technically both a type of just intonation and a zero-comma meantone tuning, in which the frequency ratios of the notes are all derived from the number ratio 3:2. Using this approach for example, the 12 notes of the Western chromatic scale would be tuned to the following ratios: 1:1, 256:243, 9:8, 32:27, 81:64, 4:3, 729: ...

    For example, 2:1 (Play ⓘ), 4:3 (Play ⓘ), 9:8 (Play ⓘ), 65536:59049 (Play ⓘ), etc. Consonance and dissonance may more subtly be defined by limit, wherein the ratios whose limit, which includes its integer multiples, is lower are generally more consonant. For example, the 3-limit 128:81 (Play ⓘ) and the 7-limit 14:9 (Play ⓘ). Despite ...

    5-limit Tonnetz. Five-limit tuning, 5-limit tuning, or 5-prime-limit tuning (not to be confused with 5-odd-limit tuning), is any system for tuning a musical instrument that obtains the frequency of each note by multiplying the frequency of a given reference note (the base note) by products of integer powers of 2, 3, or 5 (prime numbers limited to 5 or lower), such as 23 ·3 1 ·5 1 = 15/8.
