Supermajor Triad or Septimal Major Triad

[edit]

The paragraph explaining a septimal major triad is confusing since the 7:6 septimal minor third is not one of the notes of the septimal major triad, but rather the interval between the third and the fifth of this triad ( 3:2 / 9:7 = 7:6 ), much like a minor third is present in a regular major triad as the interval between maj3 and p5. Furthermore, 14:18:21 is the correct ratio for a septimal major triad. 6:7:9 is a septimal minor triad, which, nonetheless, contains a 9:7 interval between its septimal minor third and perfect fifth. I am going to make some changes to this paragraph to reflect this.

The link above is a reference to a definition of a septimal major triad. I am new at this wikipedia editing thing, so I will try to figure out how to include the reference.

Ok, now I realize what the original text meant by "inverted 6:7:9 triad", but the fractions should be 9/9 9/7 9/6 . This is indeed utonal. My changes reflect this.
