Requested audio[edit]

I added some audio examples to the article. Hyacinth (talk) 07:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ditonus[edit]

The List of musical intervals lists two intervals, the ditonus and semiditonus, in addition to the ditone. All three intervals link to this article, but only the last of the three is mentioned here. Could someone please clear up the confusion? Thanks! SharkD (talk) 02:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Error in sound examples[edit]

There is a major third playing instead of perfect fourth, so overall the same sample is played twice. I wish to thank the person who took the effort to do this, but it should be replaced. Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.210.246.182 (talk) 21:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Just perfect fourth on C" file is incorrect (398 cents instead of 498) so I edited the box to refer to "Perfect fourth on C" instead, which is 500 cents instead of 498. --Glenn L (talk) 22:52, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the meantime, would using "17 steps in 41-et on C" (497.56 cents) instead of "Perfect fourth on C" (500 cents) be a better substitution? If it's that important, I can change the link until "Just perfect fourth on C" has been fixed. --Glenn L (talk) 23:27, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Just perfect fourth on C" file has just been replaced and now plays corretly. Thanks again for bringing the error to my attention! --Glenn L (talk) 05:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction[edit]

Why and how may the introduction of this article need to be rewritten? Hyacinth (talk) 07:47, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading alias for diapason (interval)[edit]

Please note, that diatessaron, diapente, and diapason are simply the Greek terms for quarta (fourth), quinta (fifth), and octava (octave), but they do not imply a certain tuning system, because within the Ancient Greek tone system the proportions are always 4:3, 3:2, and 2:1, which says nothing about the diatonic, chromatic, or enharmonic intervals used for the division of the tetrachord.

Move to a list[edit]

Perhaps this article should be titled as a list, given that it consists of entirely of lists with an intro? Hyacinth (talk) 01:49, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
