Enharmonic tritones in the diatonic scales

The tritones F-B and B-F only exists diatonically in the C major scale. The same situation does not occur in the scales of F-sharp major and G-flat major because your respective tritones are B-E, E-B, C-F and F-C. C major (12 o'clock) is a complementary scale of F-sharp major and G-flat major (6 o'clock). F natural does not exist in scales with sharps and B natural does not exist in scales with flats. 177.102.163.131 (talk) 17:42, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 October 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: procedurally closed. The article has been moved to the proposed title by the nominator but as there have been no objections I see no value in reverting it. If this move is objected to in the near future, Enharmonic should be considered the stable title. Jenks24 (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


EnharmonicEnharmonic equivalence – It's very weird, and I think categorically wrong, to have an article title of just an adjective. Even if there's no common noun form I'd feel comfortable renaming to ("enharmonicity"? probably? if i were king? "enharmonicism" is a slightly narrower concept.)

"Too technical" template

I changed and deleted many jargon-laden statements and grouped the relevant/helpful ones (about non-12-tone tuning systems) together. Also eliminated random examples that don't elucidate the points being made. I think this is mainly what made the article hard to understand. I don't know if it's enough to warrant removing that template. Special-T (talk) 16:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Key signatures

After my and Special-T's edits, the lede now contains the sentence "Similarly, two intervals, chords, or key signatures are considered enharmonic if they contain identical pitches that are notated differently. " But key signatures don't really "contain" pitches; they just change the pitches of subsequent notes. Suggestions for clarifying this? —Wahoofive (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
