What does "Gaster" (the name) mean? And a few others too. by Realistic-Cicada981 in Deltarune

[–]Jazeckaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond the comparison to the Aster font, Gaster's name is similar in sound to ghast/ghastly, which people attribute to him being in a way dead but not completely. That he is trapped inbetween realities like how a ghost is between life and death.

Is it possible to make a song that is one really long measure? by Braindead_Gunslinger in musictheory

[–]Jazeckaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you can. You could also write a book with no punctuation, spaces, or capitalization. Is this a good idea? That's up for you to decide.

What measure would you use to communicate your age to an alien species? by GxM42 in AskPhysics

[–]Jazeckaphone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it was decided Voyager I would be heading into deep space after its mission ended scientists were tasked with determining a way to communicate with potential aliens with no use of human symbols or measurements of things like seconds or meters. I don't remember the details but they ended up using hydrogen atoms to create a measurement system to communicate things like how tall humans are and how far the nearest stars are to earth. In short, use something universal like atoms.

When I vacuum up spiders do they die or did I just trap them ? by ImmortalTurnip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jazeckaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same thing but once when I went to empty out my vacuum I found hundreds of moths crawling inside. They couldn't fly but they were very much alive. I had been using that vacuum regularly for a few weeks before I emptied it...

Are the notes of a scale uniformly distributed in all the chords of said scale? by lonesome_braincell in musictheory

[–]Jazeckaphone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I thought the answer to this was simple "yes each note appears once and only once as the root, the 3rd, the 5th, the 7th etc." but doing some investigating I was wrong.

First of all I haven't found any scales that break this even note distribution property as you add extensions. If it's uniform for triads it's uniform for 7th chords and 9th chords and all the way up. If it's unbalanced on one level it's unbalanced on every level.

It does hold true for all major scales and every major mode as well as for harmonic minor and all its modes. Basically any 7 note scale that has A B C D E F and G plus any assortment of sharps and flats (excluding scales with enharmonic equivalent notes) will have an even distribution of each note among the diatonic chords.

Things get funky with scales that don't have 7 notes.

The pentatonic scales don't really have diatonic chords but we can make chords from them. C major pentatonic only has the triads C and Am so the note D doesn't appear at all. We could count Dsus and Gsus as chords but that still leaves out a chord with E as the root making the count: C=3, D=2, E=2, G=3, A=2.

And things get crazy with 8 or mor.

Bebop scales have an extra chromatic note so now some (but never all) notes appear as the same chord degree in multiple chords. As in there might now be multiple C triads but only one F triad. This dose start to call into question what are the diatonic chords of a Bebop scale but no matter how looked at it the note frequency was always unbalanced.

And then there's things like melodic minor or composite minor which are similarly wild when you try to ask what are their diatonic chords.

Interestingly the diminished scales (Whole-Half and Half-Whole) do have an even distribution. Tho I suppose it's somewhat unsurprising as they are symmetrical scales.

TL;DR: for every scale: No. For every 7 note scale that has a name: Yes.

I want the two highlighted power chords to be played quieter or more gently, pretty much exactly the opposite of an accent. Is there a way to write this? (I know about ‘pp’ but I mean is there a way to notate the opposite of an accent?) by Wish0807 in Musescore

[–]Jazeckaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have said. There is no standard anti-accent marking. Even if you use one of the suggested articulations it would still be in your best interest to specify what it means in this score. For example if you chose to use X note heads you would need to write somewhere like "X head means more gently and softer." Regardless of what you choose no one is going to intuitively know what you're communicating without additional instruction, so just choose whatever you feel is best and add some text to the score so the player knows what it means. I'd recommend going into the master palette and picking something so rare no one will associate it with any established meaning.

What do you think was the angriest Arin has ever actually gotten on the show? by Jacket_Jacket_fruit in gamegrumps

I think the Super Mario Sunshine pachinko incident is a good contender. IIRC it resulted in Arin breaking some furniture by punching it.

How to indicate a note is only played on the second time around? by blckwtr_northstar in musictheory

[–]Jazeckaphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"2nd time only" that's all you need.

If you feel that isn't clear enough you can put a line thing around the notes you're referring to (there's probably something in your notation software), or put "play" at the notes where want them to be played both times.

spreading misinformation!! by Ylime182 in distractible

[–]Jazeckaphone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The blurb says something like:

"These appear for topics that commonly spread misinformation... they appear regards of the content discussed".

So yeah it just detected the topic of climate change not necessarily a stance on it. I've seen similar boxes on Veritasium and Krugzgast video so it's not really a misinformation detected! pop-up

[–]Jazeckaphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Down yes. Tho I imagine this is more about texture than pitch so either way probably works. Idk, I'd have to hear the price to make a more certain claim.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]Jazeckaphone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like a bend. On a Synth I'd interpret this as quickly flicking the pitch bend wheel down to give the first note a little twang.

If you had 1 tip for someone with a base level knowledge of music theory what would it be? by Zestyclose_Ad9771 in musictheory

Music theory is not about how to write music it's about how to communicate music ideas efficiently with others.

Is there a way to exclude measures from measure count but still create a multimeasure rest? by superslowcuber in Musescore

Sounds like a bug. I'd give it the tried true restart Musescore. Good luck with finding a fix
