A '''gentle tetrad''' is any of three [[13-limit]] [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered tetrads]] in the gentle temperament, tempering out [[364/363]]. In close position, these have steps of size 14/11-13/11-7/6-8/7, 13/11-14/11-8/7-7/6 and 13/11-7/6-13/11-16/13, leading to the temperings of 1-14/11-3/2-7/4, 1-13/11-3/2-12/7 and 1-13/11-11/8-13/8. A gentle triad is any of four 13-limit essentially tempered triads in the gentle temperament. The supermajor gentle triad is a tempering of 1-14/11-3/2, and its inversion the subminor gentle triad is a tempering of 1-13/11-3/2. The gothic gentle triads are the temperings of 1-7/6-11/8 and its inversion 1-13/11-11/8. The names refer to [[Margo Schulter]]'s [[Neo-gothic]] theory of harmony, which features a [[gentle region]] with a slightly sharpened fifth in which gentle triads and neogothic triads flourish. Equal divisions with gentle triads include {{EDOs|17, 22, 29, 41, 46, 58, 72, 87, 104, 121, 130, 217, 232, 234, 289 and 456}}.
'''Minor minthmic chords''' are [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered chords]] tempered by the minor minthma, [[364/363]].


[[Category:13-limit]]
There are 10 triads, 33 tetrads, 26 pentads and 6 hexads as 2.3.7.11.13 [[subgroup]] [[13-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chords.

[[Category:Dyadic]]
For triads, there are five pairs of chords in inverse relationship.
[[Category:Gentle]]
 
The ''supermajor gentle triad'' (or ''gentle major triad'') is a tempering of
* 1–14/11–3/2 with steps of 14/11, 13/11, 4/3;
 
and its inversion the ''subminor gentle triad'' (or ''gentle minor triad'') is a tempering of
* 1–13/11–3/2 with steps of 13/11, 14/11, 4/3.
 
The ''gothic gentle triads'' are temperings of
* 1–13/11–11/8 with steps of 13/11, 7/6, 16/11,
 
and its inversion,
* 1–7/6–11/8 with steps of 7/6, 13/11, 16/11.
 
The names refer to [[Margo Schulter]]'s [[Neo-gothic]] theory of harmony, which features a [[gentle region]] with a slightly sharpened fifth in which gentle triads and neogothic triads flourish.
 
The rest three inversely related pairs of triads contain semitones, such as 12/11 or 13/12:
* 1–14/11–18/13 with steps of 14/11, 12/11, 13/9, and its inverse
* 1–12/11–18/13 with steps of 12/11, 14/11, 13/9;
* 1–14/11–11/8 with steps of 14/11, 13/12, 16/11, and its inverse
* 1–13/12–11/8 with steps of 13/12, 14/11, 16/11;
* 1–13/11–9/7 with steps of 13/11, 12/11, 14/9, and its inverse
* 1–12/11–9/7 with steps of 12/11, 13/11, 14/9.
 
For tetrads, there are five palindromic chords and fourteen pairs of chords in inverse relationship.

and its inversion the ''gentle minor tetrad'' is a tempering of
* 1–13/11–3/2–12/7 with steps of 13/11, 14/11, 8/7, 7/6.
 
The ''gothic gentle tetrad'' is palindromic, a tempering of
