I was saying that if we agreed that dim and aug 3rds could be used in 'stacked thirds', they would sound like other chords that already have other names. For example, if I played C-E-Gb (with a dim3), and you played C-E-F# (with a M2), they would sound pretty similar, I guess, so here, I've tried to rationalise by giving effectively enharmonic names. I could have gone the other way- maybe I should have - but the offering here took a bit of working out, and I'd got a tired brain by then. | |

| Jan 31, 2018 at 17:54 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | Would describing the interval as a diminished 3rd that is not major or minor be clearer than saying it's enharmonic to a major 2nd? If it's spelled C-E-Gb then it's not actually a 2nd but some kind of 3rd. | |
