====================================================================== TEMPERAMENT SIMILARITY EXPLORER - PROOF OF CONCEPT CyberTuner (Chip2) vs PianoScope (Fred) Analysis ====================================================================== MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATIONS vs DATASET VALIDATION ====================================================================== THEORETICAL DEFINITION OF MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on musical theory and historical sources: 1. ALL FIFTHS ARE NARROWED - Every perfect fifth is smaller than pure (701.955 cents) - This is the fundamental characteristic of meantone 2. CONSISTENT NARROWING - Standard deviation of fifths < 2.5 cents - All fifths narrowed by approximately the same amount 3. NO WOLF FIFTH - No fifth with deviation > 15 cents from pure - Meantone is 'regular' - no exceptional intervals 4. COMMA FRACTION PATTERN - Average fifth deviation = -(syntonic_comma / n) - Where n is the comma fraction denominator (4, 5, 6, etc.) - Syntonic comma = 21.5062896 cents (1200 * log2(81/80)) COMMA DETECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Syntonic Comma: 21.5062896 cents (1200 * log2(81/80)) Detection Location: In perfect fifths (P5 = 701.955 cents) Detection Method: Average fifth deviation from pure Formula: fraction = syntonic_comma / |avg_fifth_deviation| Expected values (where we look for them): 1/4 comma: -5.3766 cents per fifth 1/5 comma: -4.3013 cents per fifth 1/6 comma: -3.5844 cents per fifth 1/7 comma: -3.0723 cents per fifth 1/8 comma: -2.6883 cents per fifth 1/9 comma: -2.3896 cents per fifth 1/10 comma: -2.1506 cents per fifth Validation Criteria: - Tolerance: ±0.5 cents for fraction matching - Standard deviation: < 2.5 cents (consistency requirement) - No wolf fifth: all fifths within ±15 cents of pure - All narrowed: every fifth < 701.955 cents LABEL VALIDATION: Do Labels Match Mathematics? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PianoScope (Fred): Labeled as meantone (name or type): 35 Mathematically meantone: 25 Label matches math: 17 Label mismatches: 26 Mismatches (labeled but not meantone, or meantone but not labeled): - Bach/Lehmann: Labeled as meantone but does not meet mathematical criteria Wolf: False, All narrowed: False, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Bremmer Equal-Beating Victorian: Labeled as meantone but does not meet mathematical criteria Wolf: False, All narrowed: False, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Coleman 11: Labeled as meantone but does not meet mathematical criteria Wolf: False, All narrowed: False, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Coleman 16: Labeled as meantone but does not meet mathematical criteria Wolf: False, All narrowed: False, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Ellis Equal-Beating: Mathematically meantone but not labeled as such Wolf: False, All narrowed: True, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Equal Temperament: Mathematically meantone but not labeled as such Wolf: False, All narrowed: True, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Graupner: Mathematically meantone but not labeled as such Wolf: False, All narrowed: True, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Händel: Labeled as meantone but does not meet mathematical criteria Wolf: False, All narrowed: False, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Hummel Equal-Beating: Mathematically meantone but not labeled as such Wolf: False, All narrowed: True, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ - Hummel Viennese: Mathematically meantone but not labeled as such Wolf: False, All narrowed: True, Consistent: True, Avg dev: -1.955¢ CyberTuner (Chip2): Labeled as meantone (name or type): 23 Mathematically meantone: 21 Label matches math: 1 Label mismatches: 42 Mismatches: - 1/4 S.c.
