Terms:
Augmented interval - A musical relationship between two tones, in which the distance between the two tones is stretched to the next significant consonance after the primary consonance associated with that degree.
Augmented tonality - A tonality which utilizes augmented intervals, especially the augmented fifth. This tonality is associated with feelings of awe, wonder, and anticipation.
Chromatic-like tuning - A tuning with nine to thirty notes per octave, such that several distinct tonalities and colours of tonatlities are available.
Comma - A small interval of 21.51 cents, a ratio of 81:80, which is considered the threshold of perception of the human ear between two distinctly different tones.
Consonance - A combination of musical tones that are pleasant and resolved. This is a relative term, the opposite of which is dissonance.
Conventional tuning - The most common tuning used for keyboard and fretboard type instruments, dividing the octave into twelve equal intervals.0
Diminished interval - A musical relationship between two tones, in which the distance between the two tones is shortened to the next significant consonance after the perfect or minor consonance associated with that degree.
Diminished tonality - A tonality which utilizes diminished intervals, especially the diminished fifth and diminished seventh, and minor intervals, especially the minor third. This tonality is associated with feelings of gloom, terror, tension, failure, and anticipation.
Dissonance - A combination of musical tones that are unresolved, jarring, or complex. This is a relative term, the opposite of which is consonance,
Drone-like tuning - A tuning with two to four notes per octave, such that the choice of notes likely yields music with a droning quality.
Equal divided octave - Equal division of notes into a perfect octave.
Equal temperament - Equal division of notes in a tuning layout.
Just intonation - Tuning based upon pure ratios of frequencies.
Major interval - The most consonant interval for each degree, except the perfect intervals.
Major tonality - A tonality which utilizes perfect and major intervals, sometimes with augmented or minor, or, very rarely, diminished intervals, sparingly. The tonality is associated with fanfare, cheerfulness, success, and simplicity.
Minor interval - Related to the major interval, where it exists, but is shortened to the next most consonant degree.
Minor tonality - A tonality which utilizes perfect and minor intervals, often with some major intervals, sometimes with sparing diminished or, rarely, augmented intervals. The tonality is associated with anger, sadness, fear, and complexity.
Perfect interval - A musical relationship between two tones, specifically denoting the most consonant ratios: unison, the octave, the fifth, and the fourth.
Scale-like tuning - A tuning with five to eight notes per octave, such that different tonalities are available for composition.
Subcomma tuning - A tuning with more than fifty-five notes per octave, such that there exist intervals less than a comma.
Supercomma tuning - A tuning with thirty-one to fifty-five notes per octave, such that some intervals are near or below the comma.
