''Ambulatory'' is a [[nonoctave]] [[rank-2 temperament]] repeating at [[3/2]] which is generated by a flat ~[[7/5]]. It [[tempers out]] the [[comma]] [[686/675]] in the 3/2.5/4.7/4 fractional [[subgroup]]. This implies a stack of 2 generators represents [[9/7]] fifth-reduced, and a stack of 3 generators represents [[6/5]] fifth-reduced.

'''Ambulatory''' is a [[nonoctave]] [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] repeating at [[3/2]] which is generated by a flat ~[[7/5]].

Ambulatory can be considered the 3/2.5/4.7/4 analog of 3.5.7 [[Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns|BPS]] or 2.3.5 [[meantone]], using [[5:6:7]] as its fundamental consonant chord in the place of [[3:5:7]] or of [[4:5:6]]. Ambulatory is actually similar to meantone in several ways:

The temperament was first documented by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] who originally proposed the name of "emergency", which refers to the North American emergency telephone number 911, because 9\[[11edf]] is a possible generator. ~~The~~ name "ambulatory" was suggested by [[User:Frostburn|Frostburn]] to more subtly reference the same thing.

The temperament was first documented by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] who originally proposed the name of "emergency", which refers to the North American emergency telephone number 911, because 9\[[11edf]] is a possible generator. This was deemed as too dark so the name "ambulatory" was suggested by [[User:Frostburn|Frostburn]] to more subtly reference the same thing.
