The idea of the Guidonian hand is that each portion of the hand represents a specific note within the hexachord system, which spans nearly three octaves from "Γ ut" (that is, "Gamma ut") (the contraction of which is "Gamut", which can refer to the entire span) to "E la" (in other words, from the G at the bottom of the modern bass clef to the E at the top of the treble clef).
Melodies can be based on a diatonic scale and maintain its tonal characteristics but contain many accidentals, up to all twelve tones of the chromatic scale, such as the opening of Henry Purcell's "Thy Hand, Belinda" from Dido and Aeneas (1689) with figured bass), which features eleven of twelve pitches while chromatically descending by half steps, [1] the missing pitch being sung later.
Use tiny clothespins or binder clips to fasten them to a length of twine or string to drape over a mirror or mantel. Slip one at each place setting on the dinner table as a name card and souvenir ...
Comparison of equal-tempered (black) and Pythagorean (green) intervals showing the relationship between frequency ratio and the intervals' values, in cents. Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are determined by choosing a sequence of fifths [2] which are "pure" or perfect, with ratio .
scRGB is a wide color gamut RGB color space created by Microsoft and HP that uses the same color primaries and white/black points as the sRGB color space but allows coordinates below zero and greater than one. The full range is −0.5 through just less than +7.5. Negative numbers enables scRGB to encompass most of the CIE 1931 color space while ...
The perceptual quantizer (PQ), published by SMPTE as SMPTE ST 2084,[1] is a transfer function that allows for HDR display by replacing the gamma curve used in SDR. [2][3][4][5] It is capable of representing luminance level up to 10000 cd/m 2 (nits) and down to 0.0001 nits. [2] It was developed by Dolby [6] and standardized in 2014 by SMPTE [1 ...
In color reproduction and colorimetry, a gamut, or color gamut / ˈɡæmət /, is a convex set containing the colors that can be accurately represented, i.e. reproduced by an output device (e.g. printer or display) or measured by an input device (e.g. camera or visual system). Devices with a larger gamut can represent more colors.
A monochord, also known as sonometer[citation needed] (see below), is an ancient musical and scientific laboratory instrument, involving one (mono-) string (chord). The term monochord is sometimes used as the class-name for any musical stringed instrument having only one string and a stick shaped body, also known as musical bows. According to ...
