Neologisms etc

"Gamelan residue"? Sources please. Frank Zamjatin (talk) 12:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The gamelan residue is listed at the Huygens Fokker site as linked to from List of musical intervals. So are a lot of other intervals with "citation needed" flags on different pages. I think in this case the term comes from Fokker but I don't have a reference. X31eq (talk) 10:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Eleventh Harmonic is 11:1, not 11:8.

A perfect eleventh is 8:3, so this thing that is being called the eleventh harmonic might be the complement of 11:8. 8:3 and 11:8 are nowhere near each other. Since 12:8 is a perfect fifth, it might be called a diminished fifth, an obtuse undecimal fifth, or something. This eleventh harmonic term should only describe the physical harmony in the harmonic series, IMAO. 216.234.170.96 (talk) 04:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jargon

How and where does this article contain too much jargon and how and why should it be cleaned up? Hyacinth (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think most of the music articles on wikipedia could be de-jargoned quite a bit. This one does not appear to be a major offender. If anything, I think it stands as one of the best of a particularly poor lot. I have removed the jargon template. I do wonder if the secor is used outside of the miracle temperament. If not, then the two articles should be combined, and this may be why the template was originally added. Dlw20070716 (talk) 11:59, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited

I tagged the article as unreferenced as it is unreferenced. See: Talk:Secor (interval)#Uncited. Hyacinth (talk) 19:45, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

pick one?

Is someone currently reworking the article? The two main sections repeat each other in part and contradict each other in part. Is the secor √(8/7), 115.587 cents; or the 19th root of 18/5, 116.716 cents; or both? —Tamfang (talk) 07:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scales

The material on the Miracle and Blackjack scales needs attention, both in expression and presentation. Further, the introduced symbols q and r have no names except those single letters, nor any practical indication of their sizes relative to the secor (s) or each other, which makes the scale diagrams much less informative than they might be. Also, those diagrams could be better distinguished from the text, perhaps by simply adding borders or indenting them. Finally, the references need improving beyond a single webpage. yoyo (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
