39-EDD
Dot-Guide for 39-EDD instruments
39-EDD Fretboard is based on the formula (Scale_Length/(2^(x/39))). Well, with a first certain, Charles Clagget (1740? - 1795, Ireland) did an instrument, a piano with 39 equal intervals per Ditave, called by he, Teliochordon (little extract here). 39-EDD is a system that no calls much the attention, include betweeen xentonal-ekmelic-xenharmonic dudes, maybe a unique piece made by Ivor Darreg called 39 notes FM Synth and Carrillon. Is interesting how fits very well the Armodue notation on 39-EDD like 1/5-tone 5;2 Relation, making of it a quick assimilation for an easy learning of this special Tuning over this special EDD together.
So, a first instance for a dot-guide on 39-EDD fretboard is this :
The dots are in the places 7· 12· 17· 22· 27· 32· 39: 46· 51· 56· 61· & 66· denoting a scale of 2L5s 7;5 Relation, 7 5 5 5 5 5 7.
A second integer for a dot-guiding is this :
The dots are in the places 7· 8· 15· 16· 23· 24· 31· 32· 39: 46· 47· 54· 55· 62· & 67· denoting a scale of 5L4s 7;1 Relation, 7 1 7 1 7 1 7 1 7.
