secondary ratios

[Joe Monzo]

Ratios used by Harry Partch in addition to those derived from the tonality diamond (i.e., the primary ratios), in order to fill melodic gaps in the musical scale and to extend harmonic resources. Viewed on a lattice, Partch's secondary ratios appear as extensions of the tonality diamond along the 3-axis.
