That is, they represent both a sharp and a flat. However, Ab-C is a 3rd and G#-C is the uncommonly thought of *diminished* 4th. The way to avoid confusion when writing about intervals is to simply list them both. For example, the note G#3 may have been tuned from C#4 to create a 4th. It now also creates a 3rd from C4. One may want to test contiguous 3rds at this point. Here is how I would suggest writing the instructions in such an instance: Tune G#3 from C#4, a widened tempered 4th. Now test the contiguous 3rds Ab3(G#3)-C4 and C4-E4. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
