Talk:Harmonic seventh chord

message: Firstly, it would appear to somewhat go against the spirit of the name "harmonic seventh", as its pitches don't come exactly from the harmonic series. Secondly, choosing 24-EDO to approximate 4:5:6:7 is pretty bad as you cannot use the closest approximation to every interval in the chord. 4:5 is closest as C-E, and 4:7 as C-B, but E-B is not as close to 5:7 as E-B. It's inconsistent. So I think the just verson ought to be the first illustration in the article. Double sharp (talk) 00:52, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  why is the tempered one the first example? 

message: The new section Special:Permalink/811271978#Comparison_with_equal_temperment_using_pure_tones contains new files that I added to commons, namely the image Barbersharp 12TET and 4-5-6-7 audacity.png and the ogg file Barbersharp 12TET and 4-5-6-7 natural.ogg.  I am not 100% sure that this isn't too much POV or original research (for example, the article already cites an ogg that displays piano versions of 12TET versus just tuning -- put pure tones aren't really musical instruments and the posting pure tone renditions implicitly claims that pure tone versions are relevant)  If this is a problem, I am more than happy to move it to Wikiversity.  Some of my students want to add vibrato to the just version using audacity, so an external sister-link might be in order here.  A
Also, I don't know the WP policy on links to Youtube videos.  My understanding is that there is currently no set policy on that (see WP:YT). Keep in mind that I am accustomed to writing on Wikiversity, where all standards are so much looser. I have no objection to moving this stuff there if the WP editors so choose.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:12, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

message: it's an augmented sixth isn't it??
 take the sixth 5/3 and add chromatic semitone 21/20 it forms 7/4. A+#=A# isn't it? so it's not seventh...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:119F:21D:7900:CCDF:DEB0:1B5F:E210 (talk) 09:06, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comparison section 

message: Citation number 4 cites 12tone as saying that the harmonic seventh was used in the blues, and while he does provide rationalization for this, he says that the strongest claim for this is made by Wikipedia. I don't know Wikipedia's policy on citations in full, but I think a circular citation is not very reliable, and the citation should be removed. Sbcloatitr (talk) 18:56, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  12tone Citation 

message: The article states "It is suggested that the harmonic seventh on the dominant not be used as a suspension..." However, multiple and voluminous sources on basic music theory state that suspensions take on two forms- being the suspend-3-add-2 form and the suspend-3-add-4 form. Therefore, it follows that the form suspend-3-add-7 form would be extremely rare in the context of music theory in general. Therefore, the source seems rather suspect as an authority on the subject, and the citation needed tag was inserted, because a second source is needed in order to confirm the information as true and correct information. Otherwise, this may need to be edited for clarification and more concrete understanding in view of music theory in general.  98.178.191.34 (talk) 20:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
