Sounds like a bit of a stretch. Other plausible explanations I can think of include the less pure major triad making the two triads more balanced, or plain aesthetic shifts that have little to do with tuning. 

I'm not sure if we wanna go over this level of detail and be this assertive about 12edo's historical influence on music styles.

== Detemperaments ==
Why compress useful detemperaments to a tiny paragraph? Why no rank 3? I doubt that the continuum is is more useful than a select bunch of great detemps. --[[User:Eufalesio|Eufalesio]] ([[User talk:Eufalesio|talk]]) 11:09, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

: It's still a select bunch of great detemps, but without bloat. And with clear guidance for where to find more. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 17:21, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

:: Disagree, if anything, continua have a lot of chaff. Schismic/garibaldi/helmholtz, meantone, diaschismic, compton, definitely wheat. Misty, atomic, possibly wheat. The rest is arguably mid. Don't make the reader sort through pages of continua... give them the flour already milled! If they want to explore more, that's fine. As it stood before in my last edit, I believe that's a good list of A-tier 12edo specific detemperaments, which are also solid or extremely good temps either way. --[[User:Eufalesio|Eufalesio]] ([[User talk:Eufalesio|talk]]) 18:33, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

::: Put my vote in for making the reader's life easier, although maybe organized further into sub-sections so that a reader that doesn't want all that can skip it without worrying they missed something else, while a reader who wants it can find it easily.

:::: These are given in ''List of 12et rank two temperaments by complexity'' and ''List of 12et rank two temperaments by badness''. Both are well curated lists and are linked at the start of the rank-2 temperaments section. So plz don't make more duplicate contents. We've had too many of them already. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 21:19, 2 June 2026 (UTC) (updated [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 21:33, 2 June 2026 (UTC))
