Summary
DescriptionPythagorean tuning geometric.svg
A star represents the Pythagorean scale with each orange tick denoting 1 degree and each cyan tick denoting 2 cents by CMG Lee. The Pythagorean comma, 23.46 cents is shown as the gap (on the right side) causing a 12-pointed star to fail to close; each line representing a just perfect fifth. That gap has a central angle of 7.038 degrees, which is 23.46% of 30 degrees.
