Raising?

[edit]

Shouldn't it be LOWERING E, A & B? The Pythagorean E is way too sharp, even compared to the equal temperament E which is still 13.7 cents sharper than the pure beatless E of Just Intonation. 120.21.50.167 (talk) 00:40, 24 April 2018 (UTC) A banned Wankerpedian[reply]

Ptolemy's intense diatonic is different?

[edit]

According to "Solomon, J 1999, Ptolemy's Harmonics: Translation and Commentary. Brill, Leiden." Ptolemy's intense diatonic has the following structure: t - T - s - T - t - T - s not T - t - s - T - t - T - s although the carving up of the tetrachord uses the same intervals but it is symmetric. --kupirijo (talk) 16:06, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
