...the diamond marimba, which is laid out as a tonality diamond and which has proven rather popular.
from para. 1 "The tonality diamond is often regarded as comprising the set of consonances of the n-limit. The term is due to Harry Partch."
But the Harry Partch page states "Partch's tuning had its origin in an extended version of Max Meyer's tonality diamond..."
I don't have my copy of Genesis of A Music handy, and don't remember who Max Meyer is/was.
The tonality diamond illustrated does not match the description, in that the 3 and 5 columns (and their associated inverses) replace each other. It does match Harry Partch's Diamond Marimba, but I think it would be better if the tonality diamond were in canonical form. Does anyone have a problem with me changing it? -- Eraticus 06:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Would somebody state what this has to do with music in the main definition, pretty please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.201.194.156 ( talk) 18:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
