User talk:Lucytune

LucyTuning is a form of meantone temperament, in which the fifth is approx, 695.5 cents. The system was developed from the eighteenth century writings of John 'Longitude' Harrison.

The theory behind LucyTuning suggests that musical harmonics "beat" and that any interval may be mapped by the addition and subtraction of: Large (L) intervals. Ratio = 2^(1/(2*pi)) = 190.9858 cents, and small (s) intervals. Ratio = (2/(2^(1/(2*pi)))^5)^(1/2) = 122.5354 cents.

The harmonic and scale structure is mapped by a unique system of ScaleCoding, which proposes that notes which are closer on the spiral of fourths and fifths are more consonant than those which are separated by more steps along the spiral.

Please Charles, think of your karma

I know you must be cross that the LucyTuning entry was deleted, but that's no reason to go around defacing all the other music articles with linkspam, deleting any references hosted on lumma.org, etc. Bad Charles! Please remember to take your meds. beefman (talk) 06:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
