I couldn’t resist this topic. These graphs bear a close resemblance to Helmholtz’s graph of calculated consonance as well as older limited surveys. I’ll check to see if the new results change my calculations of the total consonance of individual scales. I’m betting that they won’t (very much).
Pythagoras no! Pascal si!
