HS - HT ?
on: May 20, 2005, 09:56:02 PM
Like I practice not very good english, somebody can tell me if  "HS" and "HT" means  "hands separate" and " hands together" ? Is it correct ?

Thanks,
Philippe

Dorfmouse is correct in telling you that you are correct. I am also correct in telling you that Dorfmouse is correct in telling you that you are correct. Hopefully the next person to reply will be correct in telling me I am correct in telling you that I am correct in telling you that Dorfmouse is correct in telling you that you are correct.

my english is rather poor but i thought it would be mean means mean & not mean mean mean isn't that correct? if so that's quite mean (as in mean) because it could have confused him even further thinking that what you said means mean as in the mean of means

urgh!

No, no, I've got it now,obviously he must mean

                 The Harmonic Mean

        The Harmonic Mean was developed by Palladio, and it involves different intervals between notes.  It states that the mean of three numbers will exceed one extreme and be exceeded by another extreme by the same fraction of the two extremes.  The formula contains a, b, and c, in which b is the mean between the extremes a and c.  The formula is: (b-a)/a = (c-b)/c.  It can also be expressed as: b= 2ac/(a+c).  For example, pretend you are given three interval numbers: 6, 8, and 12.  Using the first equation we would get: (8-6)/6 = (12-8)/12 or 1/3 = 1/3.  Since the two sets on either side of equal sign are equal, the three numbers work in the Harmonic Mean.  The Arithmetic Mean states that a<b = b<c and is different from the Harmonic Mean, but it is often associated with the Harmonic Mean.  Another mean that is commonly seen with the Harmonic Mean is the Geometric Mean, which states that a:b = b:c.   
 
b = 2ac
    (a+c)

I mean, what possible confusion could there be?
