I didn't say anything about base. But I did, I'm talking about the likelihood of integer values depending on counting base, not the musicality of the notes. For instance, when dividing, base 12 gives a lot more integer results than base ten. I don't see any relationship between the *base* and *scale* dependant accident of integers and musicality. Integers could be made to appear anywhere by manipulating the scale intervals. they are a label, not the sound itself. Well done though, this is a return to form for you. -- Mike Reid I will agree bendybuses are a good idea when they build bungalows on Mayfair Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" <-- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk"

Uh, the integers are the same no matter what base you count in. > For instance, when dividing, base 12 gives a lot more integer > results than base ten. No, it does not. The set of integers is of the same size in every base. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Now that you know, are you going to answer my enquiry as to why a major triad with far-from-integer ratios among the frequencies is nevertheless, in the West, broadly considered a 'pleasing' sound? |
