Hexany — Regular Octahedron. In music theory, the hexany is a six note just intonation scale, with the notes placed on the vertices of an octahedron, equivalently the faces of a cube. The notes are arranged so that every edge of the octahedron joins… … Wikipedia
Millioctave — The millioctave (mO) is a unit of measurement for musical intervals. As is expected from the prefix milli , an octave is defined as 1000 millioctaves. From this it follows that one millioctave is equal to the ratio 21/1000, the 1000th root of 2,… … Wikipedia

Meantone temperament — is a musical temperament, which is a system of musical tuning. In general, a meantone is constructed the same way as Pythagorean tuning, as a stack of perfect fifths, but in meantone, each fifth is narrow compared to the ratio 27/12:1 in 12 equal … Wikipedia
Well temperament — (also circular or circulating temperament) is a type of tempered tuning described in 20th century music theory. The term is modelled on the German word wohltemperiert which appears in the title of J.S. Bach s famous composition, The Well Tempered … Wikipedia

Cent (music) — The cent is a logarithmic unit of measure used for musical intervals. Twelve tone equal temperament divides the octave into 12 semitones of 100 cents each. Typically, cents are used to measure extremely small finite intervals, or to compare the… … Wikipedia
