"Proportional error" is commonly known as damage. Edit to reflect that
"Rationally independent" is wrong. Recte primes and prime powers

* The second is called '''subgroup T<sub>''p''</sub>''', because it treats the temperament as a restriction of a full prime-limit temperament to a subgroup of the prime-limit. Subgroup T<sub>''p''</sub> does not depend on the basis used for the subgroup, and as stated, extends naturally to the T<sub>''p''</sub> tuning of the full prime-limit temperament.

The two notions agree exactly when the temperament is defined on a JI subgroup with a basis consisting of rationally independent (i.e. pairwise coprime) members. That is, the subgroup has a basis where no two elements share a prime factor (examples: 2.3.5 and 2.9.5; nonexample: 2.9.5.21).  
The two notions agree exactly when the temperament is defined on a JI subgroup with a basis consisting of prime and prime power members (examples: 2.3.5 and 2.9.5; nonexample: 2.9.5.21 and 2.3.13/5).
