[edit] Diapente

This article should be filleted and its contents distributed as follows:

• The discussion about the relationship between diapason, diapente, sesquialterum and so forth: merged into Pythagorean tuning.
• The bulk of the article: merged into perfect fifth.
• The stuff about sums of triangular numbers: IMHO this is meaningless numerology and should be deleted. I'm not sure whether the author intends to suggest that it is significant or merely that the ancients thought it was significant—and I would be interested in seeing evidence for either claim.
• The original title: should either redirect to Pythagorean tuning or perfect fifth, not sure which.

The same arguments also apply to diatessaron, ditonus, semiditonus, tonus, semitonium.—Blotwell 28 June 2005 11:01 (UTC)

• Sounds like you know a lot more about this subject than the average Wikipedians. Since none of all this tuning requires deletion, you can go ahead and do it. Good luck! Radiant_>|< June 28, 2005 13:15 (UTC)
