Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Numerical perceptual ratings for consonant and dissonant pitch intervals From: Gavin Bidelman <gmbdlman@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 06:09:29 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--0000000000003f5cc7056c3ca5be Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Ani, We've published several papers on empirical consonance ratings (based on paired comparisons) for dyads and triads (see below). The 2013 Frontiers review (Fig. 1, adapted from Schwarz et al 2003) would be particularly relevant, since it provides a meta-analysis of ratings going back to the late 1890s.
